Six student syllabi in outline form for United States history, art, and literature represent a year's work in this interdisciplinary high school course. The teaching techniques and materials include individualized learning and case study approaches keyed to ten historical themes; primary source material in the form of historical newspapers; multimedia resources; a basic text for reference and multitexts for supplementary materials; and interdisciplinary coordination between the art, literature, and history departments. History classes meet for two large group and three small group instruction periods per week; thus, lecture in both art and history and audio visual presentations are interspersed with small group discussion and individual projects and consultations. Literature classes, meeting separately, apply the same chronological, thematic approach to American literature and develop research and writing skills for implementation in history and literature. Each syllabus includes specific performance objectives, class assignments, individual projects, and references to pertinent supplementary materials. (JH)
