Integrating Curriculum

I’m trying to study for my English course and I need some help to understand this question.

Directions: 1) Choose a science or sensory activity from the course readings or an outside source. 2) Write a one-page introductory paper in which you describe the age group and activity. Explain (1) why the activity is appropriate to the age group (2) the state or national standards to which the unit aligns, and (3) how you will use the activity as the catalyst for the development of an integrated curriculum unit. 3) Identify additional activities and resources to be used in conjunction with the activity to create an integrated unit addressing the following areas: science or sensory development, language and literacy, mathematics and number sense, cognition/logical reasoning, physical development, and social/emotional development. 4) Determine a format for your unit. More information and example templates can be found at www.education.ne.gov/OEC/pubs/pri_pro/IC.pdf 5) In a conclusion section of 2-3 paragraphs, explain how you will involve parents and families of students in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the unit. Course Objectives ? Apply state and national standards, principles, and guidelines for early childhood education across content areas in alignment with developmentally appropriate practices. ? Identify, describe, and implement teaching strategies to enhance cognition and logical reasoning for early childhood age children. ? Identify methods to ensure families of early childhood learners are collaboratively engaged and considerations are made for cultural, linguistic, and ability diversity when planning, implementing, and evaluating curriculum, including individual educational programs (IEPs) and individualized family service plans (IFSPs). ? Develop an integrated early childhood teaching unit which promotes learning in contentspecific areas and early childhood development.
