This 10-week middle school curriculum unit for grades 6-8, integrating concepts, materials, and content from language arts, music, and visual arts, provides a set of specific instructional plans relative to the study of myths (often a content area in middle school grades across the country). All the sample lessons and examples in the curriculum are based on a study of myths and artworks inspired by those myths; musical examples are chosen by mythic reference as designated by the composer or, like film or stage scores, reflecting the mood and attitude of the lesson content. The unit and its lesson plans were developed using the National Standards in English/Language Arts, Music, and Visual Arts. The framework for the unit is based on the following overarching statement: "The arts are a cohesive force reflecting and shaping culture." The unit can be adapted for almost any content subject, using this overarching statement, as well as the additional examples of activities and discussions provided. After the presentation of the preparatory materials, students and teachers can approach the unit's lessons from any viewpoint--art, then music, then content or idea, or content, then music, then art, etc. It is noted that students are expected to search the Internet to find art and music materials for their presentations.
