Children's Views of the Future: Innocence Almost Lost.
Wagschal, Peter H.; Johnson, Lynell
Phi Delta Kappan, v67 n9 p666-69 May 1986

To help children grasp consequences of large-scale events affecting their lives, some educators advocate using a futures wheel for charting trends and consequences. (MLH)
