Conflicts

Conflicts, a book in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 6-8, asks conceptual questions of students in regard to conflict. Conflicts, old and new, have plagued our world since the beginning of time.

The books in Prufrock's new Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kits employ a differentiated, integrated curriculum based on broad themes. This all-in-one curriculum helps teachers save planning time, ensure compliance with national standards, and most importantly, pique their students' natural excitement and interest in discovery.

By participating in the wide variety of activities in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 6-8, students will discover the conflicts of the past and gain a lifelong desire to learn. In this differentiated curriculum, students are challenged to consider discrimination, propaganda, misrepresentation of data, and war. Conflict of interest also is examined as students study examples and then search for events in history when it has occurred. Students also ponder questions such as, "Are all men created equal?" and "Does the Food Guide Pyramid represent the healthiest choices for the nutritional needs of all people?" Conflicts, old and new, have plagued our world since the beginning of time.

Conflicts, along with the other books in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 6-8 (Ages, Connections, Images, and Powers), makes teaching advanced learners easier!
