Unit Title: No Troll Left Behind Subject Areas: The subject areas that will be covered in this unit include all core subjects such as English Language Arts (ELA), Math, Physical Education, Social Studies, Science, Art, Health, Music, Computers, Writing, Vocabulary and Culture. Grade Level: Second Grade Unit Rationale: This interdisciplinary thematic unit has a Trolls theme. With a trolls themed unit, the students will gain a deeper insight about these mythical creatures. Students will acquire knowledge and an understanding of several cultures, such as the Anishinabe, Norse, and Irish. They will develop knowledge regarding the history, culture, and the habitats in which they live in. This unit will have all subjects incorporated into their daily lesson plans. All students will remain interactive with the use of technology, and handson science and art experiments. All learning styles will be taken into consideration throughout the entire unit to reach the goal of differentiated instruction. Goals:

Gain insight about how mythical creatures vary from around the world. To use the Seven Teachings throughout the unit. Acquire a deep understanding about the cultures of Irish, Norse, and Anishinabe.
