Curriculum Guides

This is something that my sister needed posted to a public forum:

Curriculum Guides Created for Social Studies Settings

As course work for Social Studies 392, Betsy Knittle and Kristen Jana, both seniors majoring in Elementary Education at Ball State University, have recently designed Social Studies curriculums for organizations around Indiana.  Some of the agencies for which curriculums have been created include, the George Rogers Clark Memorial, the Lanier Mansion, the Maplelawn Farmstead in Zionsville, the Ball State Digital Archives, and the Indiana Historic Landmarks Association.  The curriculums that were created for the George Rogers Clark Memorial focus on the life of George Rogers Clark and his influence during Western War. In the Lanier Mansion curriculum, students were encouraged to envision life during the 1840s.  Students were able to debate the topic of building updates and whether energy efficiency was a logical reason to change the original structure and integrity of historic buildings.  This curriculum set was created for the Indiana Historic Landmarks Association.  Each curriculum set includes a cluster of 5 to 7 lesson plans and 1 or 2 assessment tasks.  If you would like more information related to any of the curriculums, or a copy of any of the curriculums that were created, you may contact Betsy Knittle at eaknittle@bsu.edu or Kristen Jana at kljana@bsu.edu.
