ELA / New York Social StudiesMeghan Scully's 4th grade class is studying New York State as part of their social studies curriculum. Earlier in their studies, the students traveled through learning centers that helped them determine the "physical settings (including natural resources), the environment, etc." of the state of New York. In the lesson pictured below, Ms. Scully integrated her social studies lesson with a previous English Language Arts lesson by engaging her students in the process of visualizing NYC via a "first hand account" (a primary source document) from pages 3-4 of the book GOTHAM by Edwin G. Burrows & Mike Wallace.
