Sample lesson plans keyed to a generalization and developmental concept and containing rationales, objectives, teaching strategies, and evaluation suggestions are included for each subject matter area. A number of techniques are suggested for accomplishing the concepts, including field trips, resource persons, class discussions, films and filmstrips, and individual projects.
