This bilingual English/Spanish social studies resource booklet provides an encyclopedia-style overview of Venezuela's history, geography, economy, and culture for teachers to use with migrant children in the elementary grades. Topics presented in the English portion include climate, land, people, customs, government, arts, food, culture, wildlife, and education. Parallels are drawn between the early exploration, imperialistic, and revolutionary periods of Venezuela and the United States and the present forms of government are compared. The more extensive Spanish section notes holidays, lists the 20 states and their capitals; names government leaders since 1830; and describes the geographic regions, form of government, principal products, history, music and dance, economy, flora and fauna, and petroleum industry. Biographical sketches introduce Simon Bolivar, Romulo Gallegos, and Jorge Mendez Castillo. Consisting mainly of narrative text, the booklet includes maps, illustrations, fact sheets, word searches and other activity pages, and an 11-item bibliography. (NEC)
