Teaching Resource/Readings |
| Description |
This resource guide is
designed to accompany a PBS Video Series The Crucible of the
Millennium. The TV series suggests that interdependence and
globalization, two words that we attribute largely to the 20th
century, apply equally well to the 15th and 16th centuries.
Looking at Asia, Africa, 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. This publication
complements the script, but at the same time stands on 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. Hazel Greenberg, 2001. 276 pp. with a
color insert. Soft-cover. |

Global Literacy: Challenges, Culture

| Subject: |

| Category: |

Level: |
Secondary |
| 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. 1998. Publ: The American Forum for Global Education, 150
