Lessons for Kids and the Classroom

CYC has developed units which support the goals and curriculum strands of the History-Social Science Framework, including such ideas as providing students with ethical literacy, civic values, and rights and responsibilities. The product is comprised of nine units, one each for grades K-8. Each unit includes a focus lesson, and is often centered around literature that demonstrates character. The literature selection typically embodies a specific culture or cultural tradition expressed through folklore or myth. This helps teachers present character traits such as empathy and tolerance, as well as history, through reading, discussion and related activities. Each unit also includes extension lessons, additional lessons, a reading list of similar stories and teacher resources.
