the Near East and the "New World" before the impact of Europeans,
the videos and the accompanying educational materials analyze consequent
repercussions of the encounters between different cultures and people.

its own as an excellent resource providing a strong intellectual context
for looking at the 15th and 16th centuries. Includes: teaching methodology,
teacher's guide to readings, bibliography, maps color and B/W images.

Title: Global Literacy: Challenges, Culture and Connections

Subject: Social/Global Studies
Category: Global Issues
Description: This curriculum unit outlines the "Guidelines for
Global and International Studies Education" which were developed
by synthesizing previous conceptualizations offered by global education
leaders, Robert Hanvey, Lee Anderson and James Becker. The guidelines
attempt to bridge two of the mandates of American education ) the mechanics
and responsibilities of citizenship, and 2) the understanding of diverse
cultures and peoples. These are usually met through separate social
studies courses-civics, American history, world history, geography and
culture studies.
Using this framework, the unit offers over 30 practical applications
for the classroom within three content areas: global challenges, culture
and world studies, and global connections. Compiled by Donald Bragaw.
