Peering Into the Past
An Interdisciplinary, Intergrated Unit of Pre Columbian South America It is the goal of the authors of this unit to align this curriculum with the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework's Core Concept which states: "The goal of a history and social science curriculum is to enable students by systematic study to acquire the knowledge, skill, and judgment to continue to learn for themselves; to participate intellegently, justly, responsibly in civic life, and in deliberation about local, national, and international issues; and to avail themselves of historical and cultural resources-historic sites, museums, parks, libraries, multimedia information sources- wherever they may live or travel."
