Interactions+Lead+to+Change

This unit examines how our world has been created through interactions between things and how WE can recreate our world through our interactions with each other. Specifically, students investigate weathering processes and its effects- erosion, deposition as well as natural events (earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, etc.) and their effects on living things. They explore how three diverse cultures interacted and affected each other during European exploration and introduction of slaves into Native American Lands. They learn how to interact with text in a more sophisticated way, examining elements more deeply, using a variety of sources, and technological resources. They also investigate how fractions, decimals, and percents interact with each other to assist us in identifying number amounts. They will apply their knowledge by creating a commercial persuading new arrivals to settle in this new land- the challenge is to incorporate elements from the unit- natural climate info/affects on colonization, relationships between those who occupy the area, data to prove their information, etc.
