An Integrated Unit Overview
The Thief Among Us is a cross-grade, gamified, Science-based, English and Math Integrated Unit. In addition to being differentiated, it is based on student interest and designed with the students in my Grade 4/5 class in mind.

Teaching in the Connected Classroom, 282, with Dr. Shelly Kelly
Submitted: December 2020
My vision for this project was to develop a culturally responsive integrated digital and live action murder mystery unit that would increase student engagement across subject areas. I had planned for students to use a combination of technologies including Chromebooks, iPads, Microsoft desktops, as well as medical technology such as step counters, heart rate monitors, scales, and stethoscopes. While online, students will use a variety of programs including: Google Apps For Education (GAFE), Wakelet, FlipGrid, and others.
Significant changes were made to the unit, from which units would best be integrated, to quantity of daily work expected. This improved the focus on the main goals of the project: motivation, engagement, and independence.
