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.
