Description

Designed to tap the rich collection of instructional techniques in the ERIC database, this compilation of lesson plans focuses on teaching values using literature as an alternative to textbooks. The 41 lesson plans in this book cover: (1) setting up an English curriculum in values; (2) ways to help students find out about their values; (3) individual ethics and personal morals; (4) social ethics and political morality; and (5) environmental values. The book includes an activities chart which indicates the focus and types of activities (such as role play, poetry, games, group activities, and writing skills) found in the various lessons. A 155-item annotated bibliography contains references to research and additional resources. (RS)
