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
apiece for orders of ten or more, plus shipping and handling.
