The unit has been designed for 7th graders combining English, Science, Geography and multimedia in the classroom.  This Interdisciplinary study combines moral discussion with an appreciation for desert wildlife.  Each lesson focuses on linking content areas and adapting to individual learning styles explained in the "The Skillful Teacher" and throughout my Teaching Strategies class.  The lesson is based on the book Death Watch by Robb White.  I have had the privledge of teaching a portion of this unit to a 7th grade class during one period and look forward to using this in the future.
