Teacher's Guide . . .

To the Teacher:

This material contains instructional strategies and student activities designed to accompany the Louisiana Public Broadcasting Series, Louisiana: A History. Written for the middle school student and teacher, this material is intended to serve as a guide and a resource to supplement your curriculum.

Each video episode covers numerous topics from Louisiana history. This teacher’s guide is organized according to these topics. Each episode is broken up into smaller segments that work well for classroom viewing. Specific classroom assessment information is not included, but will of course be a component of a complete instructional unit. The activities in the guide are designed to help students master key concepts of the Louisiana Social Studies Standards. Classroom assessment should be designed to measure their progress toward mastery.

For detailed information about what students are expected to know and do, refer to The Teachers’ Guide for Statewide Assessment for Social Studies from the Louisiana Department of Education. This reference source explains how students are assessed for each of the social studies benchmarks. The Louisiana Social Studies Content Standards are available online at www.doe.state.la.us.

• supports United States history and Louisiana history benchmarks
• includes examples of higher-order thinking questions
