Teaching by Design: Connecting Frank Lloyd Wright to the Classroom
Calling all teachers!
Discover Teaching by Design: Connecting Frank Lloyd Wright to the Classroom by exploring the unique architectural heritage of the Marin County Civic Center.
These Grades 3-5 pre-visit and post-visit lesson plans supplement our Frank Lloyd Wright school tours and are based on Core Curriculum Standards for English / Language Arts and Science / Engineering. We've also compiled a list of recommended resources teachers can use in the classroom.
These easy-to-implement hands-on projects focus on STEAM-based learning and underscore the Civic Center's significance as Frank Lloyd Wright's last designed building.
