For this integrated thematic unit our goal is to create a cohesive overall unit for students that works toward a common goal. Students will use both English and Science to learn about human impacts on the environment, research a problem and then make their case for a possible solution. In culminating the unit, students will create a Public Service Announcement to raise awareness about their issue and post their announcements around the school. This will allow our students to inform their classmates about ways they can make a difference!
