Geography Collides with Poetry and Art

I love it when curricular lines are blurred especially with the use of geography!  Here's a great resource for any week but especially Geography Awareness Week.


"RIVER OF WORDS: http://www.riverofwords.org/  this site is a REALLY neat site is about “connecting kids to their watersheds and imaginations through poetry and art.”  


The “for educators” tab on the right contains some great resources, including a link to the “signals of spring” website that has lots of great activities designed to increase students’ awareness and ease with earth image data (http://www.signalsofspring.net/)."


From Dr. Meredith Marsh at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO...thanks for sharing!

Cross-Curricular Units with GIS

If you're searching for great ways to integrate English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and GIS lessons, then start with these two examples. Both units include reading, writing and thinking along with solid content-driven examples in all subjects.

• "Water, Water Everywhere"
• "Out of Bounds: A Cross-Curricular Baseball Unit"

Both units are available from my website, http://www.barbareeduke.com/downloads/downloads.htm.
