Description
So much of education is about inspiration. As teachers and learners, all things poetic, justified, important and meaningful inspire us to be the best people we can be, active and fair in a world changing at awesome speeds and in sometimes, unimaginable ways. This curriculum for gifted learners' grade 5-8, was designed out of a sense of authentic inspiration around just the conceptual magnitude of the phrase, United Nations. Also written about, around, and in response to the events of September 11, 2001, this curriculum reflects only one of the ways in which the field of education has responded to this and other times of tragedy and conflict.
The unit is interdisciplinary, providing learners with a holistic and meaningful experience. It was written with great consideration for the disciplines with topics and lessons enmeshed from the fields of social psychology, sociology, political science and human communications, to name but a few.
