How Can You Integrate Social Studies, Literacy, and Math

I must show off the finished product from the fourth grade teachers’ fabulous unit that they designed.  They incorporated persuasive writing with learning about goods and entrepreneurship.  The students created packaging labels and persuasive ads to compel others to “buy” their products.    The teachers brought in empty used containers for the students to decorate with their own packaging labels.  Then the students created commercial videos when they had completed their projects.  Although the teachers didn’t think to do this, they could have also included math by prompting the class to figure out whose product was the better buy.  Take a look below at some of the pictures of the students finished products.
