After an introductory section, parts of the book are: Classroom Procedures; Ethics Issues; Teaching Suggestions; Developing Your Own Lessons; Getting Started; Lesson Plans and Stories; Other Activities; and Evaluation. An annotated list of 19 recommended discussion books, and list of 49 books and 8 periodicals that provide a background reading in ethics are attached. (RS)
