General Resources and Museum Discounts
- This well-planned lesson, which uses posters on slavery and abolition, teaches students to ask important questions as they read a primary source.First, the teacher models the task by analyzing a representative poster in front of the classroom. In small groups, students then analyze additional posters, locating such information as author, audience, purpose, and message.
- Authorized Use: Teachers and students may download and print any part of this atlas for classroom use or school projects. Any commercial use or unauthorized reproduction or distribution in any form or by any means is prohibited without written permission.
- Maps are a fundamental teaching tool. “Where” makes the lesson real and puts it into context. Too often maps for classroom use are too expensive for direct contact with students, let alone being personalized by learning activities.

Abstract
Children on the moderate to severe end of the Autism Spectrum may experience difficulties communicating with their peers and adults in an Early Childhood Special Education classroom. This inability to effectively communicate may be due to their not being able to verbalize their thoughts. Therefore, they can't exchange meaningful information with another classmate or adult. The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) refers to the use of images or symbols to express a thought for children who are not capable of communicating their concerns verbally in an Early Childhood Special Education classroom. PECS can be used to help a student with Autism communicate his thoughts through the symbolic presentation of one word (i.e., digital picture) or a set of connected pictures that are placed on a Velcro strip to represent a complete sentence. The effective use of PECS in the Early Childhood Special Education classroom can benefit children with Autism socially and academically, as well as in their daily lives.
