Abstract: 

Too great a focus on standardized testing has relegated Social Studies outside of the core curriculum at many schools. In addition, schools typically remain 'job training' grounds that do not produce critically engaged community members. My unit plan demonstrates how a cross-curricular approach, between Social Studies and English, focused around an experiential learning pedagogy can overcome these limitations and engage students in critical thinking and advocacy while still building core skills.
