The curriculum guide provides elementary and secondary students and teachers with some specific suggestions for studying the events taking place in Kentucky and in Illinois during the American Revolution. Although George Rogers Clark is the central figure, the study is not limited to his story. His activities provide a framework for investigating lifestyle and events of the period. The guide is divided into two sections, one each for elementary and secondary grades. Objectives are outlined in terms of concepts, values, and skills to be learned. Content guidelines for both sections follow five key questions: How did Clark become interested in the West? How were settlers in Kentucky and Illinois living when Clark arrived? How did Clark contribute to the American Revolution? How did life change after the Revolution? and What if Clark had never lived? For each question, approximately ten student activities are suggested which make use of role play, mapping, construction of miniature forts, and drawing of time lines. Bibliographies for elementary and secondary sections each list approximately 100 relevant books for teachers, books for students, and audiovisual materials. Related resources for the unit are an exhibit at the Indiana State Museum and two filmstrips for which scripts are included in this curriculum guide. (Author/AV)
