 * Unit Plan Title:** Exploration

Students will become explorers of practical and impratical places. This unit was written to be taught in conjuction with Scott Foresman Reading Street Grade 2 Unit 1 Exploration. As they learn about communities, space, and Earth’s regions in their Reading lessons, the students investigate different places to explore. Throughout the unit, the students will create short oral reports, make lists, design brochures, and share research. The students will learn to conduct research online, locate, copy, and paste pictures to the desktop. The unit will culminate with students choosing a location to explore and creating an online poster to share their research.
