NEW LITERACIES IN CURRICULUM INTEGRATION
I created this thematic unit with my first graders in mind. I chose working together as my theme as it is often an area of
difficulty with students of that age. This theme is easily incorporated into all subjects and most standards. Not only does it
assist students in learning standards, but it is also a valuable and needed skill that students need to have for the duration of
their academic careers. Students are first introduced to teamwork through digital and visual literacy by using a read aloud,
turn and talks, and a KWL chart. Scientific and health literacy are incorporated using a five senses sorting activity that
students will do in small groups. Economic and financial literacy are taught by having students work together to buy items
from a classroom store using manipulative money. My goal with this unit is that students will learn to effectively work together
in all subjects and that learning from each other will become second nature.

Lesson Title:
Summary of key learning interactions and instruction:
Students will be introduced to teamwork by first filling out a KWL chart.
Students will fill out the chart with a small group and will continue to add to it as time goes on. Students will hear a read aloud
with many opportunities for turn and talks. Students will also complete a sticky note storm in their small groups, noting different
ways to be a great group member.

Materials/Resources
(for each interaction/activity)
Description: Each activity can be differentiated. Rather than
writing, drawings can be used for the KWL chart as well as the
sticky note storm. For the turn and talks, extra prompting can
be given as needed and translators will be matched up with
ESOL students.

Description: Students will take turns asking five sense
questions about each of the items in the bag. The questions will

help determine which senses are used most to observe the
item.
Steps:
1.
One student will pull an item out of the bag.
2.
The student will ask the other three group members a
question. (Would you observe this with taste? Smell?
Sound? Touch? Sight?)

The other group members will answer the questions.
4.
The next student will pull another item out and continue
the same process.
