Carissa recommends this blog for both instruction and math instruction.

While I would have liked more detail, this is a great example of a inquiry based project designed collaboratively by the librarian, history teacher, english teacher and environmental science teacher.

I would be interested to examine this project against the CC standards for reading literature.  We didn't really touch on drama this year, and a student produced performance of a paly would be pretty amazing.
