For grades 4-5, this unit explores that change affects people and their relationships as well as the world around them. The literature selections of the unit illustrate this theme for students. Unit activities engage students in discussion and writing about what they have read and in independent and group learning opportunities that promote skill development in vocabulary, grammar, persuasive writing, literary analysis, oral communication, and thinking. Students also engage in research on current issues and report findings in written and oral form.
Included is a printed Teacher Guide and a 1-Year License to access to the Teacher eBook, Student eBook, and digital materials through our online platform, Flourish.

COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
The Center for Gifted Education (CFGE) at William & Mary University (College of William & Mary), is a research and development center providing services to educators, policy makers, graduate students, researchers, and parents in support of the needs of gifted and talented individuals. Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the CFGE has established an international reputation for excellence in research, curriculum development, and service. Several major grants, including funding from the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, have provided significant support for the work of the Center. In 2012, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation awarded CFGE the funds needed for a summer residential camp for low income, high-ability children, for four consecutive years. In 2015, William & Mary alumni, Mike and Nancy Petters, through the Petters Family Foundation, provided additional financial support to the program. In 2016, the Petters Family Foundation has committed to fully fund the program for the next four years. Camp Launch is only the beginning of the Center for Gifted Education’s goal to bring educational equality to all gifted students.
