Session: Engaging Students in Cross-Curricular Projects in English Language Arts.

Presented by Trisha Malanowich, Vibhu Vashisht, and Elliot Quade.

English language arts (ELA) isn’t meant to be experienced in a vacuum. This curriculum invites students to connect and collaborate across subjects such as science, social studies, and psychology—just to name a few! In this session, we will explore how to use the ELA curriculum as a springboard for diving into other disciplines. You will walk away with exciting project ideas tailored for high school classrooms that are easily adaptable for middle school students. Join us to discover how to make learning interconnected and engaging.
