EUROPEAN UNION LESSON PLANS
The European Union Delegation to the United States has developed a modular series of 10 European Union lesson plans designed to support History and Social Studies curricula for grades 9-12, and also adaptable to Middle School. Developed by educators, the lessons can be used as stand-alone units or as a series. Each lesson is accompanied by a PowerPoint with additional information to support the presentation. These lessons will be updated periodically to correlate with new developments in the European Union.
