Introduction:

The use of curriculum webs in program planning is widespread with early childhood professionals. A web can be thought of as a graphic overall picture of what might be included in a theme or unit approach to instruction. To create a curriculum web, the teacher chooses a broad topic, identifies subtopics for the selected theme, brainstorms various hands-on activities for each subtopic in all domains of development, and then organizes them on a tentative web. This serves as a road map for what children will learn that week and the activities to plan.

The Assignment:

1. Select a theme or unit topic for a preschoolclassroom based on children’s interests.

2. Create a curriculum web for your theme or unit topic. Be sure to include concepts/activities for all developmental domains.

• Include at least 5 subtopics when designing your curriculum web.
• Each subtopic must have at least 1 activity for each domain of development (Emotional & Social Development, Language Development & Communication, Health & Physical Development, and Cognitive Development).

3. Create an outline of your curriculum web to accompany your curriculum web. This list should include your selected theme at the top, each of the five subtopics chosen for your theme, and a brief description of all four activities you have planned for each subtopic. Submitting this outline along with your curriculum web will ensure students understand concept development. Your outline should be formatted as follows:

Student Name

Selected Theme

1. Sub-Topic #1:

Cognitive Dev. Activity:

Lang. & Comm. Dev. Activity:

Social/Emotional Activity:

Physical & Health Activity:

2. Sub-Topic #2:
