Thematic Units for the Secondary
Classroom: Content and Skills Connect
edited by Jill Adams
$17.95
The similarities between a spider web and thematic units can
be striking. Thematic units take a great deal of time to plan -- looking
at standards/goals, objectives, tests, activities, and the pivotal center of the
web, the theme; it works to connect all to these items together in a useful,
powerful manner. Additionally, the stickiness of the unit connects the
content and skills of the lessons so they remain with students long after the
lesson is over. This book contains 9 units that are ready for classroom
use.
