Back to School - compassionate teaching materials

[Guest guest]

I know there are a few teachers on the list... and parents, too! So thought

this may be of interest to some, especially since school is back in session.

It's always handy to know what's out there for the future veg*n leaders and

activists :-)

 

We will eventually archive this list on our website so if you have updates,

do let me know. Many of these items are free, either via download or via

mail. I have put links to #5 and #6 in my email signature... try it,

especially when you email your non-veggie family & friends...

 

Cheers,

Tammy

 

1) FARM SANCTUARY http://www.farmsanctuary.org/media/pr_teach.htm

 

Innovative Teacher’s Guide and Materials Available from Farm Sanctuary:

Cultivating Compassion, a teacher’s guide with student materials, is now

available to teachers, free of charge, from Farm Sanctuary. The material

offers a gentle, thought-provoking, sometimes humorous, but always realistic

approach to a difficult subject often ignored in the classroom: the plight

of farm animals. Students are encouraged to look critically at impressions

of farm life that they have always taken for granted, compare them with the

new information they are being given, and explore its relation to their own

principles and values. The materials have been designed for three levels of

students: Elementary (recommended for grades 3-5), Intermediate (recommended

for grades 6-8), and Secondary (recommended for grades 9-12). They include

14 full-color 8x10 photos of farm animals, five lesson plans, and numerous

exercises that can be copied for students.
