ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UNIT PLAN
The following unit plan was created for the TGC course work I completed in the fall. The focus of my unit was on foods that students eat around the world. To make it even more interesting we focused on snacks that the students enjoyed and shared our favorite snacks with students in other arts of the world through our global classroom connections.
Globalizing Standards and Curriculum
As teachers, we use standards to drive instruction. The following are a few examples of how I would take the existing standards and globalize my lesson. I have selected a standard in both Science and Social Studies. The first lesson is a science lesson focused on adaptations of organisms. The second standard is a social studies lesson focused on Native Americans.
