Supporting Common Core Standards through Case Studies in Science and Social Studies (Session 1)
Section outline
-
Presenter: Steve Uyeda, Sunnyside High School
Description: With the need to support ELA teachers in using informational text, science teachers need to increase the amount of high level, high-quality reading in the classroom. One way to increase reading in classes other than ELA classes is to organize curriculum around a story of interest such as a case study. Participants will be introduced to one case study library/database, participate in the introduction to biology unit using a case study, and some time to explore the database.
