Halloween, Day of the Dead and more!

Please see new resources added as of October 2015.
Using Halloween as a jumping-off place you can find many excellent ways to make the curriculum relevant, rigorous and real world - and all connected to themes that really engage your students!  From ancient mythology and religion to modern movies, from the deep seas to outer space, an interdisciplinary unit designed from among the following themes can carry your curriculum standards:  incorporate literature, history, geography, philosophy, ethics, medicine, media culture, economics, advertising and marketing and law. 

This page will take you to excellent project ideas and resources on the following fun themes!  You will find connections to all the disciplines, to content standards, integration of multiple literacies, 21st century skills.  Going above and beyond the Common Core - relevant, rigorous and real world curriculum that is project-based, interdisciplinary, 21st century, connected to the community (local to global) . . . see our 3 compass roses for designing a 21st century curriculum!
