The Native American Unit below begins in October and ends in January - we have a very flexible window to participate for me to have our students' work published.

Planning ahead: The social studies integration project that I have mentioned is in conjunction with other schools and MidLink Magazine ( [|http://http://longwood.cs.ucf.edu/~MidLink/index.test.html] ). Midlink is an online magazine that has collaborative projects and publishes student work. One of the teachers I am working with is also an editor of this magazine. Your level of participation will depend in part on your level of technology use and what you choose. I will teach how to use the tools in technology time and we will incorporate standard/indicators below unless you choose other standards.

This project is very flexible - we may incorporate any SS standards we choose and web tools we choose. I will enter our progress and products on the collaborative wiki site. Class implementation section of the project: http://eev.liu.edu/KK/na/implementation.htm

Standard 4-2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the settlement of North America by Native Americans, Europeans, and African Americans and the interactions among these peoples.
