A lot has happened in a few short months, and this Special Report will help you and your students put it all in perspective. The mini-lessons that follow focus on three key areas: In Lesson 1, students will work at understanding the key points (or "main ideas") of the recent current events. In Lesson 2, they will use a crossword puzzle to identify important details in the news, and in Lesson 3, they will get a look at the historical context of the tensions with Iraq.

Extractions: Subjects Databases UIUC Library Search ESSL Site: The Education and Social Science Library has many materials containing lesson plans, primarily in the form of curriculum guides, in both print and microfiche formats. According to the Facts on File Dictionary of Education , a curriculum guide differs from a lesson plan in that it includes "one or more aspects of curriculum and instruction, such as philosophy, policies, aims, objectives, subject matter, resources and processes" (p.138), while a lesson plan "includes the instructional objectives and methods for a particular functional unit or period of instruction" (p.271). Many lesson plans are embedded within the curriculum guides. The following is an explanation of several ways to locate lesson plans and other teaching materials on a particular topic in the Education and Social Science Library. Please direct all comments or requests for information to Nancy O'Brien.
