In preparation for developing the MYP unit, please look at the slideshow below to get familiar with the vocabulary and the components of the unit planner. Please note the pages associated with your specific content area in the subject guides. The subject guides are available on the blog under teacher resources and physical copies are in my office.

As we continue our emphasis on open-mindedness, please visit Primary Source (http://www.primarysource.org/for-teachers/guides ), a free website that provides teacher-created, classroom-ready activities designed around key primary sources, including written documents, artifacts, audio clips, visual evidence and much more. Each set of sources includes key questions, objectives, and a background essay to help you teach the activities with confidence and infuse more global content into your subject area. These activities shed light on topics that are often misunderstood and give voice to under-represented groups and their histories. These rich, easy-to-use classroom ideas can bring an international perspective to any grade level or subject area.
