Let's look at the 2nd Grade Meeting Needs and Wants unit as an example.

2nd-graders spend the unit investigating the big question: How can we work together to meet community needs and wants?

In the Launch Module, you’ll guide lessons designed to spark curiosity and excitement. In second grade, it’s where you'd introduce the "Community Model Inquiry Wall," a class display that grows as students discover how people and places meet a community’s needs and wants.

Next, you’ll move through four Investigation Modules, each filled with engaging lessons that help students explore sources, discuss ideas, and use evidence to draw conclusions. In 2nd grade, you use your lesson plans to help students play a game about economic choices, set savings goals, and analyze real-world examples of how communities support one another.

Finally, in the Action Module, lessons help you guide students to take what they’ve learned and apply it to the real world, creating projects that help their own community meet its needs and wants.
