Abstract

This handbook can serve both as a curriculum unit and as a guide to Muncie history for teachers at the fourth grade level. The book is divided into seven time periods, and each period introduces children to multiple aspects of people’s lives: events, businesses, buildings, transportation, fashion, music and entertainment. There are vocabulary words and hands-on educational activities suggested to make each period come alive. The activities can meet the Indiana State Standards for fourth grade education, and many of the activities can be used to teach multiple subjects, such as Indiana history/social studies, language arts, and mathematics.
