Cross-curricular Unit: Independent Novels


Students recently completed a cross-curricular project after reading an independent novel from the library in language arts. Spartans checked out fiction books from the library with Mrs. Wright. Once they were finished reading the books, they wrote letters to the authors of the novels sharing connections with the books in language arts class. Mrs. Drakeley then had students use the PhotoStory software to retell the plot visually in English.
