This resource is prepared with high school students in mind, but can be adapted for other age groups. We will feature one article for further study each month. Back issues, beginning in May 1997, contain this resource. Up until December 1998 it was called a teacher's guide or classroom resource. Teachers with access to computer labs should encourage students to access the article directly online.
Students have our permission to print out a copy of the article for classroom use.
We encourage you to subscribe to the print edition of St. Anthony Messenger, where you will see all of the graphics, and more articles that you might find useful on a variety of topics. Please see our links disclaimer located at the end of this document. Understanding Basic Terms in This Month's Article Look for these key words and terms as you read the article.
