This document provides an overview of a presentation on how to create Common Core aligned curriculum using problem-based learning and the example of teaching haiku poetry. The presentation discusses the key elements and shifts of the Common Core standards, explores problem-based learning as a teaching approach, and shares ideas for lessons that develop skills like close reading, writing arguments based on evidence, and using technology strategically. Examples of performance tasks and problem-based scenarios are provided for both math and English language arts lessons focused on developing skills outlined in the Common Core.
