Unit 5: Just the Facts

We have started our new unit: Just the Facts. Our overarching concept is Looking Beyond Myself. In this unit, we will challenge students to ask and answer the following questions: 

1. How do we know what is true?
2. How do we make meaning of our world?  
3. Why is it important if it’s not important to me?

In addition, we will explore, analyze, and discuss various informational texts that deepen students' ability to look beyond themselves. We will deconstruct what we read and hear to determine how we know what is true, and explore how we make meaning of our world. We will examine the importance of things outside our own personal world through research to broaden our understanding of our overarching concept.
