Built for the Louisiana Student Standards for Social Studies

The Bayou Bridges units consist of comprehensive lessons designed to provide students with a broad and deep understanding of the world. These plans also aim to help students express well-reasoned and nuanced arguments and prepare them to actively participate in civic life. Each unit is centered around a guiding question and includes engaging texts, photographs, maps, and primary source documents.

Structured learning

Student-friendly unit readers and resources create a consistent structure across all grades and lessons. This helps students and teachers stay on track and work toward a series of unit assessments aligned with end-of-year expectations. Detailed lesson plans provide support that connects specific objectives to Louisiana state standards.
