The Unitarian Universalist Association has developed a series of curriculum materials all bearing the same name, In Our Hands: A Peace and Social Justice Program. Five resources have been published for various age levels: Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, Junior High, Senior High, and Adults. Each resource begins with a brief overview of several issues: the rationale for peace and social justice education, linking peace and justice, ends and means/ideals and realities, cherishing the earth, defining peace and justice, and sources of authority (e.g., an individual commitment to helping to create peace and justice on the planet.) Each include introductory information on goals of the lessons, structure of the lessons, characteristics of the age group, discussion suggestions, and other items relevant to the specific age group. In Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.4, you will find a listing of the specific units for the various age groups. For information on acquiring these resources, contact the Unitarian Universalist Association, 25 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02108; phone:617/742-2100; Web address: www.uua.org/
