The unit contains 15 lessons of 15 to 60 minutes' duration. Each lesson contains objectives, a list of instructional materials needed to implement the lesson, procedures and student activities, and suggestions for evaluation. Supplemental materials are appended. The lessons can be taught consecutively or concurrently, or integrated with other content area lessons. (MSE)
