For the second year, Cheryl Anderson's fifth-graders are performing the "Wax Museum Biographies." The students mentally leave their small South Dakota town population 913 for such places as the moon, a street in Montgomery, Alabama, or the steps of the White House. Donations for their performances go to charitable activities within the state. Some pupils at Arlington Elementary School in Arlington, South Dakota, have a dream. Others have "asked not what their country can do for them." Still others have taken a "giant step for mankind." Cheryl Anderson's fifth graders mentally leave their small South Dakota town population 913 for such places as the moon, a street in Montgomery, Alabama, or the steps of the White House. For the second year, Anderson has assigned her class what she calls the "Wax Museum Biographies." The hope, according to Anderson, is for the children to become involved in history while learning citizenship. The students conduct two-minute speeches in front of fellow students and members of the community. Like many actors, though, they work only for money. Drop a nickel in the cans they hold, and these actors begin to play their chosen characters. Without a contribution to the pot, they remain as still as statues in a wax museum.

Social Studies Grade Ten The Basis for Curriculum Reform in the Social Studies Social Organizations is part of a series of curriculum reforms in the social studies undertaken by Saskatchewan Education. This comprehensive curriculum development process began with the establishment of the Social Studies Task Force in 1981 made up of people representing various sectors of Saskatchewan society. The Task Force surveyed a wide range of public opinion and on the basis of its findings compiled a report outlining a philosophy for social studies education. In October 1982, the Minister of Education established a Social Sciences Reference Committee. The Reference Committee developed a plan of action based on the recommendations of the Task Force to give specific direction to the planned course revisions. The Aim of Social Studies Education The Reference Committee defined the aim of social studies education: ....as a study of people and their relationships with their social and physical environments. The knowledge, skills, and values developed in social studies help students to know and appreciate the past, to understand the present and to influence the future. Therefore, social studies in the school setting has a unique responsibility for providing students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills and values to function effectively within their local and national society which is enmeshed in an interdependent world. Saskatchewan Education (1984).

Top "The First Amendment is ... a vital living principle, a call to action, and a demand that each generation reaffirm its connection to the basic idea that is America that we are a free people who protect our freedoms by respecting the freedom of others who differ from us." Richard W. Riley, U. S. Secretary of Education We recognize that the religion arena is frequently a contentious one. It consists of diverse and often contradictory worldviews and is fraught with constitutional perplexities. With all the challenges, what can we ask of our public schools? How should they go about educating students about any given human worldview? There have been endeavors to publish guidelines that would be helpful to "teaching fairly and legally about religion." This section provides a sampling. Position Statements "Instruction about Religion in Public Schools" Objectivity, Accuracy, and Balance In Teaching About Religion "Study About Religions in the Social Studies Curriculum" National Council for Social Studies "Presidential Guidelines"
