Ten Reasons to Teach an Integrated Curriculum |
|||||
10. Unless you have 50 hours a day to teach, you'll never get it all in. 9. An integrated curriculum allows science and social studies to frame your reading, writing, and math. 8. The brain thrives on connections. 7. Life is not divided into neat little blocks of time called science, math, reading, writing, social studies, and recess. 6. Problem solving skills soar when all of our knowledge and higher level thinking from all curriculum areas are tapped. 5. Real literature
in real books provides an authentic diving board into learning all subjects.
Award-winning literature provides models for problem
solving, peer relationships, character development, and skill building
as students are captivated by exciting adventures with realistic characters
who go through problems very much like their own or problems (like war)from
which they will learn historical truths. |
