The social studies unit about Basque people in Nevada integrates activities in history, geography, math, and political science for grades one through seven. Goals are to instill knowledge of Basque culture and influence in Nevada, encourage attitudes of cooperation and responsibility, and develop skills in research and group interaction. A major section of the unit outlines learning activities and integrated activities in areas of Basque history; influence in Nevada; art, music, and dance; language and literature; family structure; and industry and sports. These include visits from guest speakers, performing a mock naturalization ceremony, learning native dances, making costumes, comparing Basque and English alphabets, and visiting a sheepherder's outpost. Plans for presenting a Basque festival as a culminating activity are given. Another major section of the book contains resource materials for the activities outlined in the previous section. The materials include a map of the Basque sheep industry in Nevada, songs, rubbings of tree carvings, the Basque alphabet, a play, paperdoll cutouts, and a design for making a beret. (AV)
