Curriculum on Aging: An Intergenerational Program for Grades K-6. An ESEA Title IV-C Project.
Meaney, David P.; And Others
This curriculum guide presents 200 activities designed to change children's negative attitudes about the elderly. The activities, many of which use cross generational teaching, are organized around four themes of aging: the process aging; aging in the United States; the image of aging; and preparation for aging. Interdisciplinary in nature, the activities are provided for use in art, health, language arts, math, music, physical education, reading, science, social studies, and writing instruction. Information provided for each activity includes subject area, objectives, materials needed, time required, and teaching procedure. Additional resources preceding the activities include an introduction to the curriculum, a staff development guide, a discussion of how to use senior citizens as school volunteers, a discussion of common misconceptions about aging and the elderly, a bibliography of books, films, agencies, and organizations, and classroom activities for extending the curriculum.
