THIS DOCUMENT EXPLAINS THE INDIVIDUAL APPROACH TO THE TEACHING OF UNITED STATES HISTORY TO EIGHTH GRADERS AT MEEKER, COLORADO. THE PROGRAM IS STRUCTURED SO THAT AFTER A STUDENT DEMONSTRATES MASTERY OF A CHAPTER THROUGH A SHORT OBJECTIVE TEST, HE THEN INVESTIGATES ENRICHMENT MATERIALS SUCH AS FILMSTRIPS, TAPES, RECORDS, BOOKS, AND PICTURE ENCYCLOPEDIAS. A DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED RELATING TO THE PURPOSES, PROCEDURES, AND RESULTS OF THE PROGRAM. THIS IS SUPPLEMENTED BY CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS DRAWN FROM THE PROGRAM. THE APPENDIX CONTAINS A LIST OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS USED. (JH)
