Teacher’s Guide
A Teacher’s Guide on curriculum topics such as world studies, women’s issues, human rights, and African religion is available to use in conjunction with Miller’s memoir Encounters with Witchcraft. It has been used in African secondary schools as case study material and in non-African secondary and college settings. Other topics in the teacher’s guide include biography, economics and politics of belief systems, violence in society, and field work in foreign cultures. The teacher’s guide includes discussion questions and suggests several classroom activities for each chapter.
