All Unit Plans are to be considered "Works in Progress". As teachers reflected upon the challenges and successes of each unit they were encouraged to return and make modifications. Also, each teacher was at their own level in incorporating the four strands of the grant into their daily teaching. As they grew more comfortable with each area they were encouraged to revisit their Unit Plan and make modifications. These Unit Plans are a snapshot of where the teachers were when the grant ended.

Rollin' on the River II
High School (9-12)

The goal of this unit is to help students appreciate and value the Platte River. Students will be exposed a variety of interdisciplinary activities. They will investigate the river's historical, social, economic and political areas that influenced the development of Nebraska.

The Platte is a complex ecosystem that supports hundreds of species of fish, birds and land animals. People depend heavily on the river for agriculture, recreation, industry, mining and everyday uses. Just as humans have impacted the Platte River, it in turn affects the inhabitants of the Platte River Valley. The Platte meanders through Nebraska's heartland as a witness to much of our history and as a source of inspiration to our literature, arts and music.
