- Abstract: The curriculum section provides over one hundred garden-based lessons to create, expand, and sustain garden-based learning experiences. It offers practical ideas and resources for every level of garden-based learning from sprouting seeds to understanding the food system.
This curriculum section was compiled by the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources Garden-Based Learning Workgroup. The content for this section was borrowed, with permission, from various resources. It was our goal to use existing resources as not to “recreate the wheel” and to give a broad example of the garden-based learning resources that are currently in print.
The section is divided into 12 theme areas with applications for primary and upper grade level students.

- Abstract: Chain Stories is for young native speakers of a Romance language who have only recently started to learn a foreign language at school.
What
This highly successful, collaborative project asks students in five schools, each of which speak a different Romance language, to write a story together, each school in their native language.
How
The students 'Intercomprehend' the other chapters written by the Chain partners, using the similarities between the Romance languages, and write their own part of the story.
Result
The effect on students has been dramatic with an excellent raising of awareness and interest in learning languages.
Take Part
The project has created an online website were teachers can form their own Chains of five schools. There they will find all the necessary guides, instructions and communication tools, to allow them to complete a Chain story autonomously.
