1950-1970 Civil Rights dominates this issue. After John F. Kennedy was killed on a street in Dallas, we study the background of political and racial tensions that clouded senses. We study the process of coming fully to grips with the principle of equality we have recognized all along. We look at the end of segregation throughout the South, but the continuing difficult battle to achieve the fulfillment of equal opportunity-equal responsibility. Yet Indiana has been growing dramatically.
Agriculture is vital to Indiana.
As its principal theme, we use this issue to teach about statistics and their use. We study farm products and learn which are most important to Indiana and where they are raised. Then we spotlight the counties which are most productive. Comparing productivity enables us to examine statistical summaries and charts and study the ways in which they may be used. Making statistics visible is important and this is often done with graphs and charts like those we draw in this lesson.
