This course familiarizes students with national and state content standards for social studies, world cultures, and literacy. Students create unit and lesson plans for several elementary grade levels and design materials for the classroom. Students experiment with integrating subjects across disciplines using thematic units, group activities, the world wide web, etc. There is a focus on integrating literacy instruction and content areas in the upper grades of elementary school. Special attention is given to teaching learning strategies (e.g., KWL, question-answer relationships, concept mapping, and guided writing procedures). Software products and Internet resources are included as teaching tools. (Previously NJCU Course EDU-691)
