8th Grade IB Unit Plan Map and Global Contexts by Brooke Brennan https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90 As a team, use the guiding questions and the results of the sticky note mapping activity to facilitate conversation and ideas: What do you notice? Are there opportunities for interdisciplinary units? How can you make connections using the Global Contexts? How can you make students aware of these connections? Are students having an opportunity to learn through a variety of Global Contexts throughout the year? en-us 2015-09-30 00:45:04 UTC 2024-10-17 11:39:24 UTC hello@padlet.com bbrennan2 https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72923465 2015-09-30 13:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72923465 bbrennan2 https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72923605 2015-09-30 13:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72923605 bbrennan2 https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72923799 2015-09-30 13:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72923799 One connection I can make is that Language Arts and Social Studies is very similar in both the scope and sequence of the global contexts that are covered. https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72925774 2015-09-30 13:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72925774 I also notice that there is overlap between Science and Math global contexts in Trimester II. https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72925794 2015-09-30 13:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72925794 I think that a great or phenomenal interdisciplinary unit would be the Holocaust.  Language Arts students would read "Night" from an aesthetic point of view and read it from a historical or political point of view in Social Studies. https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72926094 2015-09-30 13:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72926094 Students can forge these interdisciplinary connections on their own when they see the content connection.  In the end, when they make these connections and understandings, learning is more lasting and meaningful because of its authenticity. https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72926533 2015-09-30 13:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72926533 Art Integration https://padlet.com/bbrennan2/4yobrroffy90/wish/72934574 Our department can provide ideas for artists working in a particular time period or using a specific concept related to math & science.
