An introduction describes the purpose of the evaluation project, development'of evaluation instruments, selection of panelists who evaluated materials, and proceis and results of the evaluation. One hundred-and-two projects (comprised of 438 pieces of materials) are evaluated. These evaluations are organized by state or territory and, within each state or territory, by the institution that'received the grant. Headings for each entry include information on the project title and address, name of project diredtor, ethnic group or groups on which the project focused, audience and grade level-for the project, the project's subject"(curricular) area; the format of. the materials developed (i.e., print or nonprint), the amount of ,finding, the titles of mdierials accepted, and availability, informatiOn for each piece of material. The heading information is followed by a description of the project materials.
