Teacher's Resource Handbook for Latin American Studies: An Annotated Bibliography of Curriculum Materials, Preschool through Grade Twelve. UCLA Latin American Center Reference Series, Volume 6.

This handbook is an annotated bibliography of 1,347 instructional materials for teaching about Latin America. Existing materials are identified that can be used by precollegiate teachers of all subject areas. The handbook is arranged by grade levels--preschool and kindergarten, grades 1-3, grades 4-6, grades 7-9, grades 10-12, and ungraded. Within each section, materials are divided by geographic region and listed alphabetically according to their instructional formats. The region divisions include Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, South America, and Latin America. Types of materials include multimedia, books, films, filmstrips and slides, records and tapes, maps and transparencies, and posters and pictures. Bibliographies and journals are listed separately. Entries contain title, date, description, price, and publisher. Some annotations provide an evaluation of the material's cross-cultural instructional value. A list of publishers and distributors is included for ordering materials. The handbook concludes with two evaluation forms which may assist teachers in selecting materials on the basis of their cross-cultural value and for purposes of general assessments. (ND)
