Overview

I integrate a cross-curricular activity into each semester.  I stretch it across the subjects I teach and into other areas.  This semester I had to set it up a little different.  I will be out of the building 5 days in August.  What a tough time to be gone, but, a great time to do something out of my normal course schedule and timeline.  I wanted to share the primary standards I intend to address and support.  I identified standards I expect students to gain mastery of and standards that they will just be exposed to.
