Consisting of an audio-visual series and study exercises for cooperative, interdependent learning opportunities, this curriculum project is designed to provide in-depth learning and to develop positive attitudes about India in junior high school students. The project can also be used to influence curriculum development and to acquaint teachers with the rich cultural and geographic diversity of India. The audio-visual series, "Images of Modern India," includes six slide programs averaging 12 minutes in length. The programs, which can be used together or independently, cover the following topics: "Cities of India"; "Architecture of India"; "The Children of India"; "Adults at Work"; "Art in India"; and "Transportation." The second part of the project involves the use of cooperative, interdependent classroom exercises. Seventeen group exercises are presented in the form of research questions dealing with diverse subjects. Students working in groups of four or less rely upon information from the audio-visual programs as well as their regular textbooks and other materials about India provided by the teacher. Emphasizing cooperative study and learning, most exercises require written documentation of group work and, if desired, group presentations or debates. Topics addressed include Indian geography, culture, art, village life, and population growth. Several exercises require students to compare life in India with that in the United States. One uses local and foreign newspapers to teach about Indian culture. Other questions deal with the caste system and the policies of Gandhi. (GEA)
