This Amana (Iowa) Folklife Curriculum has been planned as an easily-implemented sequence of activities comparing community and family folklife traditions with current practices. The K-5 activities are planned to coincide with holidays in the regular school calendar whenever possible. All activities compare and contrast present-day practices with those of grand-parents and great-grandparents or elderly friends. The 6-12 curriculum provides for the integration of specific units into the school's general course offerings. Lessons may be adapted as appropriate. The Grades K-5 Activity-Based Topics include: (1) "School Life"; (2) "Traditional Foods and Recipes"; (3) "Family Christmas Traditions"; (4) "Music and Other Holiday Traditions"; and (5) "Folk Arts/Crafts." The Middle School/Secondary Subject Area Topics provide lessons for the following areas: (1) "Industrial Arts (woodworking, tinsmithing)"; (2) "Home Economics (sewing/quilting, family life, foodways)"; (3) "Visual Arts (traditional Amana Folk Arts, calico textile printing, basketmaking, carpet weaving)"; (4) "Foreign Language--German (oral traditions, landmarks)"; (5) "Social Studies (history, government, economics)"; (6) "Language Arts (writing, literature)"; (7) "Math (folk math)"; (8) "Science (weather beliefs, planting signs, folk medicine)"; and (9) "Music (vocal, instrumental)." Information on a teacher orientation workshop, resource letter and questionnaire, and a bibliography are provided. (EH)
