[MOSAIC] Combining reading, writing, and history standards

[Ellen K Closs]

I taught 3rd grade last year (Michigan).  I was able to integrate reading, 
writing, and social studies with a project on the famous ship "Edmund 
Fitzgerald."  The students amazed me with what they did!  They were using 
many different comprehension skills, learning about history, and writing 
informational text.  They loved this project!  They were able to use the 
internet and books.  I also played the song which became a classroom 
favorite:)  Although Michigan's standards are not integrated, I was able to 
integrate them myself.  I would highly recommend doing a project like this!  
I hope this helps:)
