Community as Classroom
This practical manual shows teachers how to use
architecture and the history of communities as resources in the
classroom to enhance the teaching of traditional disciplines.
The sixteen chapters of lesson plans and activities
are drawn directly from classrooms of teachers in Brooklyn, The
Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens for grades kindergarten through 12.
The appendix includes:
- a guide to the vocabulary of architecture and design;
- a chapter on doing historical research in New York City
- an index of historical sites in the five boroughs
- and a bibliography of sources for children and adults.
The manual is $15 apiece or $10 for orders of ten
or more, plus shipping and handling.
