SUBMITTING AN INTERDISCIPLINARY UNIT

Linked here is our interdisciplinary unit template, with descriptions of each area available by clicking on the titles.  This template is two-layered:  there is an overview template for the whole unit, then the standard unit/lesson template for any of the subject areas.  To save this template so you can enter your unit into it, follow the instructions below.

For PCs

1. From the interdisciplinary template, open the “File” menu and choose “Save As” to save a copy of the template to your desktop.
2. Close the original window.
3. Right click on the file icon you have just created on the desktop.  Select “Edit” – this brings up the template in an html editor, such as FrontPage.
4. Type your information into the blank boxes in the table.  In the subject area section, each teacher will need to follow directions to submit information about his/her unit.  To create links, use the features in your editor program.
5. Save the file to a disk or your hard drive.  Use the unit title as the file name.
6. When complete, e-mail as an attachment to:  editors@dsisd.k12.mi.us

For Macs

1. From the blank template page, open the “File” menu and choose “Save As.”  In the “Save As” box, indicate that the document is a web page and the format or page source is html.  (The prompts will vary, depending on your computer.)  Save the blank template on your desktop as newtemplate.html
2.  Close the original window.
3. Open an html editor, such as Composer, Dreamweaver, or FrontPage to a blank new document.  Click and drag the newtemplate.html icon onto the blank new page.
4. Type your information into the boxes, then save the completed unit or lesson, using its title as the name.   E-mail this as an attachment to: editors@dsisd.k12.mi.us
