=Social Justice Unit Development=

__//This Unit MUST be complete by December 1, 2007//__
A space to work collaboratively on the second project-based unit for the Academy School. The project will focus on Social Justice with sub themes of racism, poverty, and abuse of power.

Criteria for our Project Units:

 * put learning in a local context, but making global connections
 * focus on the here and now, but put this in a historical perspective
 * activities and products should be for more than practicing academics
 * the unit should be multidisciplinary - having authentic content from each of the four core disciplines (this topic is a no-brainer for ELA and social studies - how could we make authentic connections to math and science?
 * Integrate technology into the learning (and products) in authentic and engaging ways
