The following resources are suggestions only. It is hoped that the material listed here will be useful in facilitating the incorporation of the C.E.L.s into existing curricula. It should be noted that some of the suggested works (such as those which deal with contemporary issues and values) may not be appropriate in certain situations; activities may need to be selected with some sensitivity to the needs of individual communities. Other works which contain individual activities or strategies are intended to be integrated into lessons which introduce meaningful content, and not to be used as separate ends in themselves. Those works which relate to specific subject areas may also provide strategies which can be applied throughout the Required Areas of Study.
The list is not meant to be definitive or prescriptive, but rather to be adapted by classroom teachers. It is anticipated that through individual use, the list will be continually updated as teachers note which works are personally useful or not useful and as they add or delete titles. The resources are listed under the headings of the individual C.E.L.s.
