The teacher's guide contains interdisciplinary activities for all grade levels based on the inauguration of President Carter. The first section suggests ways of developing skills and competencies in self-actualization, communication, consumer/producer affairs, social-political values, and mathematical analysis. For example, students are encouraged to collect newspaper articles which illustrate Carter's opinions about how Americans value the sharing of governmental powers. Section two presents activities in nine content areas: business, distributive education, English, foreign languages, health occupations, home economics, music, science, and social studies. Poetry interpretation, writing letters of welcome to the Carter family, simulation of a television interview with members of the First Family or Cabinet members, research about music used in past inaugurals, and comparison of different countries' election processes are among the activities suggested. Teachers are encouraged to team teach the projects using an interdisciplinary approach. A third section contains a list of five books about President Carter and references to current periodicals which discuss political events. (AV)
