Integrated Curriculum Project

You will develop a sketch of an integrated, social studies topic-driven, literature curriculum for children at a particular grade level.  Using the principles of Understanding by Design, your course of study will focus on developing and deepening students’ understanding. In addition, you will focus on essential understandings, concepts, essential questions, and key facts as the basis for planning.
