Integrated Instruction: A Trio of Strategies.
Rakow, Steven J.; Vasquez, JoAnne
Science and Children, v35 n6 p18-22 Mar 1998
Focuses on three approaches to integrated instruction: (1) literature-based; (2) theme-based; and (3) project-based. Each approach is explained and illustrated through descriptions of successful classroom examples. Literature-based integration utilizes a story to build a unit, thematic units are built around a topic, and project-based integration involves students in investigating real issues in real contexts.
