Dying to Try a New Thematic Unit? Try a Trip to the Cemetery

Looking for a unique thematic unit and field trip idea? A trip to the cemetery can help students see that for Adventist Christians, the grave is only a temporary resting place. Michael England presents ideas for a cross curricular thematic unit plan, inclusive of cemetery and classroom activities, for Bible, Language Arts and Creative Writing, Science/Health, Social Studies, Math, and Music. Also included are Family Activities and Tips for Teachers. A comprehensive list of selected websites that pertain to the topic is given, along with links to what Adventists believe about death. Teachers are advised to be sensitive to the cultural background of their students.
