All Inclusive Materials List
(Lessons C-1 through C-7)Note: These lists do not include photographs, or diagrams that may be called for in presenting the lesson. These may be found online by Googling under the terms given in the text. Eventually, url’s for such photographs and diagrams will be provided under each individual lesson under the tag, enhancements. Your help in providing these will be appreciated.
All lessons should involve students in taking notes and/or making diagrams according to their abilities. Therefore, always equipping them with suitable paper/notebooks and writing instruments is assumed.
