African-American Heritage. A Resource Guide for Teachers. Grades 6-8. Draft.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Multicultural Education.
This curriculum guide provides teachers with materials on African-American history and culture that include some of the most recent scholarship in the field. The activities and resources assembled do not constitute a comprehensive treatment of African-American history, but they do examine many topics within that history. The volume encompasses six themes: (1) "The African Homeland"; (2) "Nile Valley Civilizations"; (3) "African Empires and Village Societies"; (4) "Africans in the Americas"; (5) "The Struggle for Human Rights"; and (6) "Present and Future." Each theme section opens with background information for the teacher and then lists major ideas and the performance objectives for the theme. Learning activities for each theme provide a development section. Corresponding activity sheets can be duplicated for students and used as the basis for class discussion. The activity sheets contain materials of various types, such as photographs, maps, and other visual aids. A list of suggested readings for teachers contains 114 items. (SLD)
