The activities and experiences suggested in this guideline are organized into units of work, or topics, which are sequences designed to last for some weeks. The units are intended to add to the secondary school program certain fields of instruction that are important to the development of today's students. The guide is in three sections. The first, "Man: The Maker and Product of Culture," directs the students' attention to the distinctively human capacity for symbolic expression. Culture is seen as a relatively stable design for living and encompassing shared social values, a shared system of behavioral norms, and a common technology. The second, "Man: The Social Action," examines the "self" as a product of symbolic interaction, with culturally defined expectations organized about the performance of "roles". In the third, "Man: The Builder of Social Structures," man is seen as a participant in relationships, groupings, and social systems that have an intelligible structure which can neither be reduced to nor derived from a study of the behavior of individual actors. Teacher innovation is encouraged in usage of the units to achieve the objectives. The rationale, suggested activities, and emergent themes are given for each topic. A bibliography of Canadian learning materials, listing books, articles, films, and reference texts for teachers, is included. (JMB)
