Welcome
to my second thematic unit publication on the Internet. My first
unit, The
Colonization of Mars, can be viewed by using the provided link.
My name is Alexis Johnson-Jimenez. It is for the love of fiction
(and the making of history less boring for children) that I have
constructed this thematic unit on Benjamin Franklin's life as told
from the viewpoint of his dear friend, Amos the mouse. In the following
pages you will find my project in its entirety. I must warn you
that it is quite long. Although I had a specific set of students
in mind when this was designed, I hope that I have made it flexible
enough to meet the needs of any student population.
Use
the menu on the left to navigate through the pages of this unit.
Feel
free to copy, print, and modify this unit to meet your needs. All
I ask is that you e-mail me with questions and comments on improvements
that I can make.
PLEASE
NOTE: This unit is a modified version
of Linda Scott of the San Diego County Office of Education's unit.
I reviewed her unit and modified it to meet the needs of the children
I had in mind. All credit for the initial ideas are given to Linda
Scott when applicable. Please visit her vision of this unit at:
