The social studies curriculum activities presented in this guide were developed as one component of a total career education demonstration project for Appalachian Maryland, and are intended for use as supplements to the total middle or junior high school curriculum. Introductory material lists career education concepts and outlines career and occupational development objectives. The body of the guide consists of the following six social science units: anthropology/psychology, geography, history, political science (government), economics, and sociology. Each unit relates career education activities to one or more concepts within the specific subject area. Career education activities are identified according to type of activity (e.g., research, puzzle, map, game, survey, class discussion, field trip). Materials required for games and puzzles are included. (SH)
