Winner of the 2015 NAGC Curriculum Studies Award
Interactions in Ecology and Literature integrates ecology with the concept of interactions and the reading of fictional and informational texts. This unit, developed by Vanderbilt University”s Programs for Talented Youth, is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Next Generation Science Standards.
Students will research questions such as 'Should animals be kept in zoos?’ and 'Should humans intervene to control overpopulation of species?’ They will examine relationships among living things and the environment as well as relationships between literary elements in texts through accelerated content, engaging activities, and differentiated tasks.
Ideal for gifted classrooms or gifted pull-out groups, the unit features fictional texts from Lynne Cherry, Katherine Applegate, and Jacqueline Woodson; art from Mark Rothko and Georges Seurat; informational texts about deforestation and a variety of animals; biographies about Michael Jordan, J. K. Rowling, and Walt Disney; and videos about food chains, food webs, and more.
