Intended to assist in the development of humanities programs on the secondary level, this guide contains a rationale for teaching humanities, instructional objectives from the U.S. Office of Education, definitions of the concerns of the humanities, a message to teachers of the humanities, and three approaches to teaching the humanities. The three approaches suggested are the conceptual approach, which is divided into two units to discuss music, art, and literature under the headings of "Man Seeks the Divine," and "Man Seeks Social Order"; the elements approach, which is subject oriented (art, music, and literature); and the chronological approach, which deals with the humanities individually by periods. Supplementary references are given at the end of each section. (LL)
