Fall Social Studies Unit Drafts -- Use Them to Get a Head Start on Fall!
On May 7th, our social studies contact group met and worked in grade level collaborative groups to draft plans for the kick-off units for Fall, 2008. Each group worked together on one or more unit plans corresponding to Cobb's Course Guides (now on PICASSO.) Since we have more contacts from the intermediate grades, you'll notice more drafts from those levels, but there's at least one unit draft plan for every grade.
Be on the lookout for fully fleshed out unit and lesson plans on PICASSO this summer. We have writers busily at work even as we speak! In the meantime, hope this advance work by your contact group gives you a boost. Remember these are drafts and meant for you to refine and develop more fully.
I am also adding the course guides with standards clustered per unit that we will be using in Cobb County in 2008-2009. Note that skills from the Skills Matrix are referenced this way: MG1 (map and globe skills) and lower case letters in order to denote each skill AND IP1 (Information Processing skills) and lower case letters in order to denote each skill.
THANKS to our hard working contacts for sharing their time and talents so generously!
