The humanities 7 team has just consulted again to create a meaningful revision/update/upgrade of the existing curriculum. I'm so lucking to be working with a team in which 4 of the 5 are taking this course--not to mention that we all work so well together! No complainers or blockers, and everybody pulls her own weight.
What we came up with is a natural extension of last year's project, based on the concept of Connected World. This year's final unit will focus around one of several work issues. Students will work together, hopefully develop a bit of a PLN of their won, and create a viable, actionable solution to a global issue that can be acted upon at a local level. Last year's guest speaker from Ryan's Well is the perfect example!
An assessment panel will decide which of the student-group's ideas are most "doable" and with any luck, the 7th graders will have time to get started.

The unit looks great, however, it should include the TAIL Standards that you feel are being addressed in this unit.
ReplyDeleteCommunication and Creativity both come to mind as well as the collaboration piece.
Please include those standards in your unit plan.
Thanks.
