Chocolate and Ice Cream Across the Curriculum

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Sixth graders in a special education class discuss excerpts of two stories and read biographical information on the authors. In groups, they read the full text of both stories and try to solve the mystery as they read. They practice their skills working with others and write in their journals to reflect on the lesson.
