Dear Students and
Parents of Sixth Graders:
During the next
month, our students will be involved in an interdisciplinary unit
entitled The Classical Age. The purpose of interdisciplinary
instruction is to help students make connections among various subject
areas.
Listed below are
some sample activities from several subject areas:
·
Language Arts-
acquire and apply research and note-taking skills to create a Roman
character
·
Reading-
explore a variety of Roman cultures through literature
·
Social Studies-
understand Roman history and their modern influences
Students will
receive instruction and class time to complete the research project in
Language Arts. Each student has a packet, which describes the project
and establishes deadlines. Please review this information carefully,
and sign the tear-off below. It should be returned during Reading and
Language Arts.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jean King and
Ms. Sarah MacMillan
