Social change and the ideas, feelings, and hopes of man which lead to the development of his institutions are the major focus of the eleventh grade FICSS series (Focus on Inner City Social Studies -- see SO 008 271). The units examine how the forces of stability and change culminated in the creation of the major historical documents which are the foundation of America's life style. The unit is presented in a case study format beginning with the causes of the American Revolution, The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Prohibition. The content of the unit includes an introduction; essential source materials needed to teach the unit; learning, behavioral, and skill objectives; content activities; and a supplementary resource list for students and teachers.
