This integrated state curriculum guide was developed by North Carolina fourth grade teachers, principals, and supervisors during a workshop which explored methods of integrating curriculum objectives from multiple instructional areas by using the community as both a resource and a subject of study and by introducing the concept of webbing, an open-ended planning process designed to emphasize relationships between ideas and subjects. A sample unit, "Melon Mania," illustrates how focusing on watermelons can be used to teach art, science, social studies, language, media skills, mathematics, healthful living, and communication skills. Seven units provide integrated curriculum suggestions for teaching about a community's animals, arts and recreation opportunities, government, transportation, geography, agriculture, and business and industry. Most of the units contain: (1) a goals and objectives web; (2) an activities web; (3) suggested integrated activities; and (4) selected resource materials. Appendices include information about: (1) integrating nutrition education in the fourth grade; (2) a fourth grade integrated learning center; (3) the I-search paper concept; (4) how to conduct an interview; (5) the field trip experience; (6) simulation games; and (7) debate participation regulations. Charts and diagrams are included. (JHP)
