For this Discussion Board you will be developing a thematic unit for preschoolers. Choose your overarching theme and explain the main parts or features of your unit. Summarize the activities you will use to integrate content areas into you unit.
Your activities need to focus on the creative arts as well as content areas and include activities that are open-ended and allow children to make choices.
Your unit needs to be your own and not one that you have discovered on the internet or in a teacher's manual.
1) The first part of this DB topic requires you to "Develop a developmentally appropriate thematic unit for preschoolers." A thematic unit is one that focuses on a specific topic/theme. The unit can be a week to a month long - one to two weeks is appropriate for preschool-aged children.
2) Next, you're asked to "Choose your overarching theme and explain the main parts or features of your unit." For example, if I were to develop a unit on Thanksgiving, I would include activities and/or learning centers to include social studies, math, science, language arts, art, drama, and music.
3) Then you must describe "summarize the activities you will use to integrate content areas into your unit." The activities must "focus on the creative arts as well as content areas and include activities that are open-ended and allow children to make choices." Remember: "Your unit needs to be your own and not one that you have discovered on the internet or in a teacher's manual. **I will check TurnItIn.com and the internet to ensure that your units are original!**
