Graduate Student Independent Studies
The National Mall curriculum for seven and eight-year-olds is a child-centered, literacy and social studies-based series of units.Recognizing the need to connect reading and writing with the students'real life experiences, this study utilizes the prior knowledge which students bring to the curriculum and extends that information with activities which build a common experience for all of the children. Developed for inner-city students in Washington, D.C., the study incorporates teaching and learning about letterĀ writing, timelines, autobiographies, and biographies with history, geography, economics, and political science which is pertinent to the National Mall.
