This kit has been designed to meet Maine Learning Results in grades 5-8 but is easily modifiable for use in other grade levels. We suggest that the lessons in this kit be worked through sequentially; however, each lesson has been developed to stand on its own and/or be infused into other classroom units. We encourage all modifications that engage students and develop understanding. Please evaluate any other activities you may develop (such as crafts, recreated feasts, or role playing) to make sure they do not perpetuate myths and/or cultural stereotypes.
