The Grid Method has been successfully used for the implementation of larger cross-curricular projects. Once the cross-curricular problem is defined, the specific content targets can be created and aligned based on the topic. The content knowledge needed to meet the targets and answer the larger question could be met with targeted learning opportunities (lessons / tasks) which compose the grid and build in a “step by step” manner to the completion of the larger project. Student products are often much more thoughtful and meaningful if lower levels or DOK concepts are fully understood before applied.
