*text in blue are links to documents, websites and other resources
As we are starting, or in the midst of unit 4 (for ELA/Math) or focusing on the upcoming unit in Social Studies or Science Essential Learnings, here are some additional resources to support cross-curricular instruction, projects and class activities...
Activity:
Working with your subject team members, choose from the following resources to brainstorm how you would like to incorporate these resources into Unit 4.
*Please Note* The following online resources are merely SUGGESTIONS. You do not have to use them-they're just additional resources for you to review when thinking about your next unit in ELA, Math, Science or Social Studies. The most important thing is for subject teams to work together to collaborate on projects for upcoming units, and to share those ideas using the grade level documents linked below. If there are other resources that you have found successful, please share them with your colleagues during this activity. Feel free to plan projects and activities around those resources instead. Collaboration is key.
- ELA/Social Studies: The Gilder-Lehrman Institute of American History
- The website includes a large library of primary and secondary sources, along with instructional resources that can be used with the 7th and 8th Grade's Social Studies unit. (6th grade teachers are also invited to use the resources, as CCSS in Unit 4 can be supported by activities on this website.)
