Making Global Connections

This handbook for teachers arises out of the work of the World Studies 8-13 National Curriculum Development Project and is a sequel to "World Studies 8-13: A Teacher's Guide". It aims to stimulate new teaching ideas and methods, and offer teachers support in putting these into practice in the classroom. The core of the book comprises five case studies dealing with issues of current global concern. For each issue there is background information and data, suggested teaching strategies and plans, and detailed guidance and material for pupil activites (including some pages of material which may be photocopied for pupil use). David Hicks is Director of World Studies 8-13 project and co-author of "World Studies 8-13: A Teacher's Handbook". Miriam Steiner is a Manchester Senior Advisory Teacher.
