- Summary:
-
Four modules of classroom strategies provide suggestions for examining U.S. history in light of contemporary issues. "The Right to Life" uses the Karen Anne Quinlan case as a model for exploring moral, legal, and medical issues related to euthanasia. Students discuss the reasoning and viewpoints of various groups associated with the case, and they consider the merits of a "living will.""The Dream of Success" focuses on problems involved in making a career choice and allows students to critically analyze strengths and weaknesses of a variety of work roles. Self-evaluation instruments and interviews with workers help students identify factors influencing people to be satisfied or dissatisfied with their jobs. "The Pursuit of Pleasure" employs an inquiry strategy to analyze evidence and formulate conclusions about leisure in American society. In "The Fruits of Wisdom," students learn and apply a problem-solving technique to assess the social and economic impact of the Alaskan pipeline. Rationales and teaching plans are provided for all modules, which are being field-tested. (AV)
