GED 693 - Integrating Art, Social Studies and Language Arts: K-8

Through critical investigation  participants make connections between historic events, social issues, visual culture, globilization, geography, and artistic expressions.  We will use literature, art, primary sources, museums, performances, letters, and articles  to widen our interdisciplinary scope of curriculum and address the Common Core and state and national standards. From Civil War to Civil Rights and from Immigration to the United States and Migration from the Dust Bowl we will examine the characteristics of content and dispositions that lead to civic engagement and critical and creative voice.  To develop our supportive and engaging community we honor multiple perspectives and intelligences, work collaboratively, and encourage risk taking.

Credits: 3 cr.

Miscellaneous Notes:
A materials fee is due upon registration.
