It’s not always easy to get to students engaged, especially when they
think of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields as
"hard" or "boring", but STEM
to Story: Enthralling and Effective Lesson Plans for Grades 5-8 takes
fun, engaging and meaningful lesson plans that fuse hands-on discovery
in STEM with creative writing in order to ignite student imaginations.
The workshop activities within this book are the innovative result of a
partnership between 826 National's proven creative writing model and
Time Warner Cable's Connect a Million Minds, an initiative dedicated to
connecting young people to the wonders of STEM through hands-on
learning. Authentically aligned with both the Common Core State
Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards, this book provides
teachers, after-school and out-of-school providers and parents with
field-tested lessons, workshops and projects designed by professionals
in each field.
Grades five through eight is the critical period for engaging students
in STEM, and STEM to Story: Enthralling and Effective Lesson
Plans for Grades 5-8 is designed specifically to appeal to – and
engage – this age group.
