The USA: A Diverse Country and People.

Haas, Mary F.; Sunal, Cynthia Szymanski

This paper focuses on three activities for elementary students to develop the concept of diversity of peoples within the United States. Students are asked in each activity to select elements representative of their geographic area in the United States, while noting the differences within the common elements. A short booklist of titles about selected Native Americans and Hispanic Americans is included. (EH)
