Designed for elementary, secondary, and post-secondary classrooms and community use during the week of November 11-15, 1985--the week before the Reagan-Gorbachev Summit meetings in Geneva, Switzerland--these lesson plans and units accomplish two goals: (1) to inform young people and adults and raise the level of understanding around specific issues of the Reagan- Gorbachev summit; and (2) to encourage teachers, students, and adults to develop a new process for talking about the critical issues of our time. With emphasis on problem-solving and conflict resolution, the packet is organized into eight sections. Following an introduction, sections 2 and 3 provide activities for all ages and conflict-resolution activities for students in grades 1-6. Section 4 provides activities for students in grades 7-12, including a brief history of summits and summitry, questions for discussion, lessons for organizing a mock summit meeting in the classroom, an activity involving a closer look at arms control issues, activities accompanying newspaper articles by Richard Nixon and James Reston, and a unit on the USSR. The next sections provide a college/university approach and annotated bibliography on nuclear issues, activities for professional development and community education, follow-up resources, and special follow-up activities.
