Though undoubtedly changes will be made as we actually teach our units, the team plans to have a culminating activity that involves a display of poems and stories that grow from our studies, together with the presentation of similar elements (poems and stories) for parents and other students. This culminating activity, naturally, will include dramatic presentations of some of Silverstein's poems that the students count among their favorites. The event will probably occur just before April vacation. As mentioned, parents and other staff members will be encouraged to assist in the event. Plans for the activity will be ongoing, as each team member teaches his/her individual unit. The team will also meet regularly to develop the integration of activities that will eventually lead to the final program.
