Exploring America in the 1980s: Living in the Material World is an
interdisciplinary humanities unit that looks at literature, art,
and music of the 1980s to provide an understanding of how those
living through the decade experienced and felt about the many
social changes taking place around them. Through the lens of
"identity," it explores why these changes occurred and lends an ear
to the voices of the groups that clamored for them. Cultural icons
like Madonna and Bill Cosby are examined alongside larger issues
such as the end of the Cold War and a changing economic and
political identity. The unit uses field-tested instructional
strategies for language arts and social studies from The College of
William and Mary, as well as new strategies, and it includes
graphic organizers and other learning tools. It can be used to
complement a social studies or language arts curriculum or as
standalone material in a gifted program. Grades 6-8
