The NESA Activities Handbook for Native and Multicultural Classrooms. [Volume 1.]
Sawyer, Don, Comp.; Green, Howard, Comp.
This book, the first of three volumes, contains a collection of activities designed for or appropriate to the native Indian or multicultural classroom. Levels range from kindergarten to grade 12. Some of the activities have been borrowed from other sources, but many have been developed or adapted and are available here for the first time. The activities have been selected for their ability to involve students, to introduce or explain concepts, and for their capacity to have a meaningful impact on participants. Most of the activities can be used in any classroom setting. The games focus on and develop attitudes necessary for multicultural awareness and sensitivity. The activities included represent a broad scope of what has come to be known as structured experiences. Communication exercises, simulation games, values clarification activities, group process exercises and research projects are all represented in this collection. All activities share the characteristic of providing opportunity for experiential learning. The activities are arranged according to their approximate difficulty. Each activity described includes a section called "Notes on Use," which attempts to share with facilitators experiences from conducting the games. The 22 activities in this volume include complete instructions and helpful instructions for debriefing. (JL)
