Curriculum+Innovation+Assignment+Details


 * For this assignment (worth 20% of your grade), you’ll either design 3 30-minute curriculum modules, or write your own children’s picture book that teaches environmental lessons. ** Curriculum modules can build on modules already developed by others; they should be structured to contribute to the cache of modules being built by the EcoEd Research Group, using the curriculum template below. Picture books should creatively teach an eco-message, cultivating at least three specific EcoEd literacy goals.

All curriculum and stories should work with these EcoEd Literacy Goals. In many, it will work well to build on this EcoEd Step-Up-To-Solutions model:

See how the Step-Up-To-Solutions model can be used with creative writing curriculum in this slide show.

Here are EcoEd Stories written in the past, and here are steps in producing a story.

Here is an word doc version of the curriculum template.

And here is an example curriculum using the above template.
