Reading, Writing, Region : A Checklist and Purchase Guide for School and Community Libraries in Appalachia

Abstract

Published in 1984 in conjunction with the Southern Highlands Institutes for Educators (SHIE), this report was intended to acquaint elementary and secondary teachers with the history and culture of the Appalachian region, and to provide ideas for incorporating these studies into their regular school curriculum. Funded in-part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, Miller’s guide synthesized materials and resources on the Appalachian region for teachers. This report updated Miller’s Laurel Leaves report first published back in 1978.
