A Caveat: Curriculum Integration Isn't Always a Good Idea.
Brophy, Jere; Alleman, Janet
Educational Leadership, v49 n2 p66 Oct 1991
Just because an activity crosses subject matter lines does not make it worthwhile; it must also accomplish important educational goals. Learning activities should be educationally significant or desirable even without the integration feature. Activities should also foster, rather than disrupt or nullify, major goals in each subject area. (MLH)
