Context-This unit of instruction was written and taught during my internship at Blue Ridge Elementary School in November and December of 2005. It was created as a project for the class CI4000 under the supervision of Dr Bercaw.
Impact -This unit was really alot of help to me I taught all 8 lessons and it ended up taking over 2 weeks to get them all in. I taught everyday and integrated several subjects. The ands on activities were so much fun I really learned alot about classroom management through the unit and I learned alot about the early people of NC as well. This was a great preparation for what we will have to do when teaching and it helps to do it first hand. Putting together a unit making everything connect. It all is important for successful learning experience for everyone.
