If...Then..

Jill Brandeberry For 1st/2nd grade I connect it to our map unit. We use the map to place and locate where each Stanley is traveling. We learn the continent song and the state song. For those states where Stanley is traveling to we learn extra information about it!

 * If... || Then... ||
 * You want to **connect the essential question** to Social Studies || I am thinking about posing the questions, "If you could choose to live forever, would you? Why or why not?" As a Social Studies teacher we could look at all the issues that living forever would present for communities, countries, families, etc. We could look at countries where populations are not growing fast enough as well as countries where the populations are growing too fast and talk about possible solutions. It will be interesting to see if any change their mind after reading the book!
