Unit Plan

I'm collaborating with another 6th grade teacher to create the unit plan on children's literature. It worked out really well, because we will both be able to use the plan. We've decided on a two week plan that deals with the subject of propaganda. Neither of us have taught that topic yet and it does appear in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study objectives for sixth grade. I believe we are going to discuss the book, Number the Stars, since it deals with World War II. The librarian at my school has also agreed to share a video with us that she used to use when she taught the unit to her students. We plan to introduce the topic by allowing the students to search magazines and newspapers for advertisements that may display some propaganda. It will be an exciting and useful project!
