Prairieview Elementary teacher Karen Howe uses Michigan: The World Around Us, a book which Fol-soms' study says contains "the worst excesses of the modern multicultural movement" The textbook's author describes virtuous and courageous minorities suffering from the misdeeds of white males, Folsom said.

Indian attacks often are glossed over or completely ignored. Detailed discussions of such attacks are inappropriate for her Lakeview fourth-graders, Howe said. "I don't think that kind of violence is something we want to talk about" Howe said. While Howe agrees that the theme of minority struggles is "often revisited," teachers rarely use any book alone. "I think it would unfair to students and all the needs kids have," Howe said.

Ael3 XXXXXXXXXX Ael3 Teachers say they spread Michigan topics throughout the school year. And they use more than textbooks. Students count copper pennies for math projects, make colorful contour maps of Michigan during art and study wolverines in science class. They also independently research Michigan's history, geography, industry, government and other topics. Teachers bring in diaries, library books, university studies, museum artifacts, slides, photographs, maps, magazines, newspapers and more.

"If (Folsom) knew that teachers brought in many different resources, he would realize the students get many different perspectives," Howe said. McCann uses Discover Michigan mostly as an outline for her Harper Creek students. Her weeklong lesson in mining is covered in two to three pages. "If you used this book alone, you'd go through it in nine weeks," McCann said. Folsom also criticized the two BOOKS, from 1A But his topics are too complex for fourth-graders, he treated social-studies texts like history books and didn't realize how many outside resources most teachers use, teachers said.

"I'd want him to tell me how to teach that at a fourth-grade level," said Katie McCann, who teaches at Wattles Park Elementary in the Harper Creek school district "Some of those concepts are difficult for students of this age to understand. At this point they're learning the Great Lakes." said Arlene Lents, who teaches at Battle Creek's Verona Elementary. 13 xxxxxxxxxx Ael3 When it comes to economics, young students sometimes have difficulty understanding the value of money, McCann said. During a recent lesson, her Wattles Park Elementary students mentioned buying a car or boat for $60. "If they don't understand they can't buy a boat for $60, how are they going Brad Lackey Advertising Director 966-0560 Heather Lipp Marketing Director 966-2225 Cynthia Spencer Human Resource Director 966-2233 Stewart Woodard Production Director 966-0650 General information.
