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,
Ms. Sarah
Broas
