PREFACE

This guide is intended to be used as a working copy for professional staff.

It is not a completed document but a working draft which will be revised at the

end of the 1973-74 school year. This document cannot stand alone but is designed

to be used with in-service education and our "Project LET, Guide for Implementation."

The methodology used to implement the concepts of Project "LET" is the

Integrated Teaching Unit. These Integrated Teaching Units are evolutionary in

nature as they are developed from the curriculum, utilizing student involvement

and ideas. They are continually being implemented, evaluated, and revised by

the classroom teacher. The duration of each teaching unit varies to allow for

flexibility, individuality, creativity, and fulfillment of the needs and interests

of each child.

Each unit evolves from the existing elementary curriculum which includes the

following components:

1. general overview 5. methods of implementation

2. teaching/learning resources 6. resource people and materials

3. concepts 7. student activities

4. behavioral objectives

Inherent in each component is an awareness of careers and the way man does

things. The additional content provided for children in the "LET" classroom

is the opportunity to explore careers and technology through the utilization

of the Integrated Teaching Unit, parent and community resource people, and

exposure to numerous careers.

Basic Threading of Warp

Heddles = 12" strings, tied in a loop,attached to dowel in this manner

Attach 9 heddles(white cotton string)to dowel 8" as shown

Thread first warp string (yarn) through loop of heddle, over dowel C,around D and E, back to A. Tie end.

Second warp string goes next to heddle, not through, around dowels Dand E, back to A. Tie end.

Continue in this manner to thread 17 warp strings, using 9 heddles.

To Weave:

Place loom in front of you with open edge on your right. With lefthand, raise up all the warp threads directly in back of heddles untilyou see a definite opening between layers of threads. This is calledan "up shed". Weave through, using yarn wrapped around cardboard.Next press down threads in back of heddles. This is a "downshed".Weave back through. Place right hand in between layers and "beat down"(pack threads closer together). Continue in this manner, pullingthreads toward you until length desired. Untie knots to remove.

QUICK YEAST BREAD PLANTS

2 pkg. dried yeast1 cup lukewarm water1 t. sugar1 cup milk - scalded2-1/2 t. salt1/3 cup sugar2 eggs, well beaten1/3 cup melted shortening (Crisco), half butter6-1/2-7 cups sifted all purpose flour

METHOD

Sift flour into large bowl and set aside.

Soften yeast in lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon sugar in large mixing bowl.Have another bowl, greased with Crisco or Pam ready.

Bring milk to boil in sauce pan (scald). Take off heat, add salt and 1/3 cupsugar. Cool to lukewarm by setting mixture in pan in another pan with cool waterin it. When mixture is cooled, add to yeast in bowl along with the 2 beaten eggs.

Melt shortening, butter mixture in small pan over heat. Cool in larger pan with

cool water in it.

Add 4 cups flour into yeast-egg mixture and beat until smooth. Add melted cooled

shortening, butter mixture and again heat until smooth. Stir in and knead enough

flour to make a smooth, elastic dough but not too stiff.

Place in greased bowl, turning dough over once. Cover bowl. Let rise in cozywarm place (85 degrees) about 1 hour, or until double in size. Then turn outonto lightly floured board and shape into rolls or three loaves. Place in

greased pans - cover. Let rise again in warm place until double, about 30minutes.

Bake in moderate oven (400 degrees) 15-20 minutes for rolls.Bake loaves 20 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake20 minutes longer.Let loaves cool before taking them out of pans.

CLASSROOM ELECTION



None


The secretary, principal and the other fifth gradeteacher who helped in voter registration


Divide the class by random sampling into two political parties.I appointed temporary chairmen. Each group then:

1. Chose a name and official party symbol2. Selected (in our case by voting) candidates for the

offices of president, vice-president and secretary3. Produced campaign posters with direction that nothing

could be said against someone else - everything mustbe positive in favor of; not negative against

4. Register to vote by proving they were a citizen ofRoom 122* to the other fifth grade teacher. (Some usedtheir office card, some the C.A.-10 books, some papersthat I had written comments on, etc.)

*I had to prove I taught in room 122!5. The registration certificate had to be produced on election

day before a child could receive a ballot. When each childvoted their certificate was "voided" by being rubber stampedwith a carved eraser stamp

6. Each child voted in a study carral and placed their ballotin a sealed box. (We did this on election day.) Ballotsnot marked correctly were destroyed.Several children lost their certificates and were unableto vote

7. All campaign posters in the room and hallway (within 100yards of the polls) were removed before election day

8. The polls closed and opened at official pre-stated times9. One child voted "absentee" by ballot sent home and returned

by mom in a sealed envelope10. A representative from each party helped me count the votes -

one reading the vote aloud and the other confirming it as Itallied it

1. Each party was divided into three assembly lines2. Children were allowed to choo$e their jobs, i.e., coloring,

cutting, etc.3. Foremen were volunteers4. Each "line" made as many buttons as possible in the

allotted time5. Nothing was said about quality until after work period6. We brainstormed after to find out what we could or should

have done differently - the biggest criticism was: "weshould have planned more."

7. Quality control inspection eliminated all buttons notsymmetrical in shape, with misspelled words and notcolored to pre-set specifications

I. 1. What does a drop of liquid look like?Place a few drops of water on wax paper'and observe.

2. How small a drop can you make? How does a tiny dropdiffer in appearance from a "blob" made of severalregular-size drops?

3. Can two small drops be made to form a single largerdrop on the wax paper?

4. Do water drops leave "tracks" as they move across thewax paper?

5. How does newsprint look when observed through a dropof water resting on wax paper? On plastic wrap?

6. Do water drops on wax paper differ from drops onplastic, or aluminum foil, or paper toweling?

7. Do drops of alcohol or oil or soapy water differ fromdrops of tap water when placed on wax paper? Drawpictures of each; be sure to label your pictures.

8. How does newsprint look when observed through a drop ofsoapy water? Compare the soapy water drop with thedrop of plain water.

II. How much water can you put in a paint dish?Fill a plastic cup with water without letting it over-flow. Place t111 dry cup on a paper towel so that youwill notice if overflows later. HOW MANY DROPS OFWATER DO YOU TALNK YOU CAN ADD TO THE WATER IN THE CUPBEFORE IT WILL OVERFLOW? Begin adding drops of waterto the cup with a medicine dropper. Count the dropsthat you add until the cup overflows. Observe thewater surface as you add the drops. DRAW A PICTURE OFTHE CUP WITH A LOT OF WATER IN IT.

III. 1. Can you get an oil drop to stay on top of a waterpool? Can you get a water drop to stay on top of anoil pool?

Soap in a floating loop of thread.Make a loop out of a piece of lightweight thread abouta foot long. Float the loop on the surface of waterin a shallow paint dish. Be sure the dish is clean and freeof soap contamination. Carefully place a single dropof soap solution inside the loop on the water surface.NOTICE THE EFFECT ON THE LOOP OF THREAD. If at firstyou do not succeed with this one, try, try again. Itis worth the trouble.

REPEAT WITH VARIATIONS:1. What would happen if the soap solution drop was

added to the water outside the loop. Try thiswith a fresh dish of water.

2. Would a drop of plain water have the same effectas the drop of soap solution?

3. After you have added a drop of soap solution tothe water, is there any additional effect fromadding other drops of soap solution?

Alcohol versus water.Place a thin layer of colored water on a shallow paint dish.Spread the layer of colored water as thinly as possibleacross the dish. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN A DROP OFALCOHOL IS ADDED TO THE WATER? Place the alcohol onthe water and observe the effect.

The talcum powder Tug-of-War.Sprinkle talcum powder on the surface of water in apie plate. When the water is motionless,PLACE A SINGLE DROP OF SOAP SOLUTION NEAR THE CENTEROF THE POWDERED WATER SURFACE.

REPEAT WITH VARIATIONS1. Start over with fresh water and talcum powder.

Place single drop of plain water near the centerand observe. Compare this effect with that of thesoap-water drop.

2. Place a drop of soap water near the edge of the dish.3. Try the same thing using alcohol instead of soap-

_ water.

VII. A Delayed Tug-of-WarEstimate a 1/2 teaspoon of cooking oil and place itnear the center of a shallow dish of colored water.WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF YOU PLACE A DROP OFSOAP ON TOP OF THE OIL?...IF YOU THEN TOUCH THE WATERNEAR ONE SIDE OF THE OIL WITH A DROP OF SOAP SOLUTION?

VIII.

IX.

Repeat the process using alcohol instead of soap solution.

Wait for the effect! Remember, this is a delayed tug-of-war.

Floating on "Skin"Partially fill a container with water. A large surface (pie plate)with shallow water is best. Be sure the water is freeof soap. TRY TO FLOAT A PAPER CLIP ON THE WATER SURFACE.Practice until you are able to do this. You may want tofashion a tool to help you do this. Use a second paperclip to make this tool.

When you have a paper clip floating, OBSERVE THE WATERSURFACE NEAR THE PAPER CLIP. Add a drop of plain waterto the surface near the clip to see if it has any effect.Add a drop of soap solution in the same way. Note theeffect of soap.

Float a toothpick on water. See if there is any effecton it when soap is added to the water.

MUSICAL - "At This Rate It May. Soon Be Too Late"

Tune: "Hernando Hideaway"

We've just arrived from outer spaca, to gaze upon the human race.

We've landed here so we can see, what's happened to humanity, you see.

Your escapades have brought us here to see your sorry state, radioactivity shouldnot be your fate.

In to our rocket ships we've jumped, we hope we're not too late, we're not too late.

We've landed here from far away. We look quite odd to you this day.

So lend an ear and don't dismay, the truth you cannot hide away, away.

****************************************

Oh, we're feeling mightly blue, cause the world is in a stew.

They're rioting in Africa, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

They're starving in Span, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump'Bump Bump

There's hurricanes in Florida, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

And Texas needs rain, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls, the French hate the German, theGermans hate the Poles, Italians hate the Yugoslays, South Africans hate theDutch, and no one likes anybody very much, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

But we can be thankful, and tranquil, and proud for man's been endowed with a mush-room shaped cloud, and we know for certain that some lucky day, someone willset the spark off, and they will all be blown away, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

(Tune: Take Me Out To The Bali. Game)

It seems that their future is not too secure, at least a million conflicts they willhave to endure.

With Mao in China, and Cuba's Castro too, satellites in orbit and in Asia there's flu,achoo.

A country can develop a war, a person can develop a cold, cold war.

Take us out to the arms race, Take us out to the war.

You've bought some missiles and submarines, you'll blow the whole world to smithereens.

We will root, root, root, for the good guys, if they don't win it's a shame.

For it's one, two, third war, you're out, at the cold war game. Achoo.

Oh, what's the matter Mr. Jones, what's troubling Mr. Lee

They're too identical to have their own identity.

The Joneses, the Joneses, you've got to keep up with the Joneses.

Oh, Mr. Jones just bought a car, he's happy as can be. And now guess who just

bought a car, his neighbor Mr. Lee.

The Joneses, the Joneses, you've got to keep up with the Joneses.

They're stuck like everybody else in their society. They're stuck with each other,

stuck with each other, stuck with each other, ca ca ca you see.

***********************************

Click, click, I'm a wheel, Click, click I'm a wheel. Click, round and round I'm

going, click precision always showing.

A gear is what I am, I do the work of man. A gear is what I am, I do the work of man.

I'm just a little lever, and I may not be so clever, but I do the country's work

Work piston work. Work piston work. Don't stop or jerk. Don't stop or jerk.

Piston work, piston work, piston work WORK.

***********************************

So go home to the Joneses, the Goldbergs, and the Browns, let them know what it's

all about

If you're feeling dejected go out and make it over, hurry up, hurry up you must go

That's the answer, That's the answer, try to make up a new set of rules.

So go home to the Joneses, the Goldbergs, and the Browns, let them know what it's

all about.

You must shake them, and wake them, you've simply got to make them face the fact, at

this rate it may soon be too late. Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

At this rate, it may soon be too late.
