Social Studies
In this section you will find a social studies unit on the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas intended for a fifth grade inclusion class. This unit was presented to my peers in a graduate course entitled, "Social Studies and Language Arts Instruction for the At Risk/Disabled Learner." This lesson was meant to integrate both language arts and social studies in the unit to portray how the content area of social studies is dependent on language arts. This course emphasized the use of the common core learning standards (CCLS) to develop a lesson that was common core appropriate. My reflection, also included in this section, depicts how I think the unit successfully used the CCLS.
