I am almost done with my project. My cross-curricular project theme is "Survival." My four content areas are: English/Reading, Art, Science, and Technology Applications (computer class).
The major assignment for my English/Reading lesson plans is for students to write a creative, fictional story about a "survival situation." (For example: My airplane crashes on a desert island. I am one of 3 survivors. This is what happens, how we survive, etc.....)
In that story, students will demonstrate their writing ability to meet TEK standards and they will be expected to demonstrate the knowledge of survival skills that they aquired in all of their classes participating in the cross-curricular project.
I have done a project similar to the cross-curricular project we are doing in this class. The idea for my "survival" theme was one my group and I came up with for a "thematic unit" that we had to write in another course. However, I have re-done the project by writing my own lesson plans for the other content areas (rather than using the lessons they came up with for our group project last semester).
