Select a theme that could be used to promote interdisciplinary inquiry. You will be developing this theme into a full Theme Study which is due at the end of the class. Choose standards from at least two or more subject disciplines that fit with your chosen theme and grade level.

• the rationale for your theme study and grade level.
• how it meets the criteria for a theme study.
• what role (teacher as director, teacher as guide and teacher as mentor) you think the teacher (you) should play in the development of this theme and why.
