This paper describes procedures used by the author in analyzing data obtained from observation of a 9-day fourth-grade social studies unit developed by the Washington University Social Studies Curriculum Project. Analysis included the development of a chart showing the structure of each lesson from two teachers' lesson plans. The actual sequence of events was then compared with the chart, and the two teachers' classroom procedures were compared. Results of the study will be incorporated into the author's doctoral dissertation, tentatively titled," A Description and Analysis of a Sequence of Innovative Lessons Taught in an Elementary School Classroom."
