Planning, Development, and Change in Bristol Bay: A High School Curriculum. Teacher Guide and Student Text. Unit V: Oil and Gas Development. Unit VI: Minerals and Mining. Unit VII: State Land Disposal. Revised
Lipka, Jerry; Willer, Cristy
Written with the broad goal of involving high school students in Bristol Bay, Alaska, in the planning and design of their region's future, this combined teacher guide and student text contains the final three units of a seven-unit curriculum. Unit V looks at oil development in the Bering Sea, covering topics such as Alaska's dependence on oil, leasing oil tracts, impacts on the marine environment, and detecting oil related damage to the village environment. Unit VI explores the potential mineral wealth of Bristol Bay and the costs and benefits of mineral exploration and development. Unit VII examines reasons for state land disposals, the concept of private ownership, and impacts of state land disposal. Each unit states objectives, lists lessons in the unit, and specifies instructional materials needed. Each lesson (14 for Unit V, 8 for Unit VI, and 6 for Unit VII) includes objectives for the learner and procedures for the teacher. Background reading material for students is provided from sources such as newsletters, editorials, news reports, and journal articles. Activities for students include designing a survey to study attitudes regarding oil and gas developments, conducting the survey with village residents, and organizing and analyzing survey results.
