Making Curriculum PopDeveloping Literacies in All Content AreasPam Goble and Ryan R. Goble

Does your curriculum sit quietly on its hands? Or does it pop like a cool tie, a great tune, or �reworks on a summer night? �is extraordinary book will help it do the latter . . . and will help you approach your teaching with an enthusiastic and collaborative spirit like never before.

Inside you’ll discover a �exible, research-based, step-by-step approach to designing vibrant curriculum in all content areas. �is approach integrates literacies across media, including both print and nonprint texts, such as:

• books, websites, and blogs• film, TV, and video games• music and podcasts• visual art and fashion• architecture and landscape

Students form cooperative learning groups to evaluate texts from various perspectives: How would a Web master map the events in the movie Rescue Dawn? How would an economist explain the variables a�ecting family and community life in Kit Kittredge? What observations would a cartographer make about the design of a Frank Lloyd Wright school? Finally, they show and share their thinking using unique graphic organizers aligned to the Common Core and other standards. Additionally, you’ll �nd suggestions for modifying and extending each learning experience to satisfy the unique needs of your classroom.

Digital content includes over �fty unique graphic organizers, student samples, correlations to Common Core State Standards, and more.

To order, visit our website: https://secure.ncte.org/store/ or call 877-369-6283.

WARNING: With this book in hand, your

curriculum may never sit still again!
