It was getting toward the end of the school year when third grade teacher, Kathy Athans realized that she didn't teach everything she had hoped to address within all of the disciplines. She took a quick look across the standards for each and decided to develop a unit with summer as the theme. During math time she had problems written inside beach balls; social studies looked at the impact warmer
weather had on crops grown in the southern half of the United States compared to the northern half; in language arts class the children wrote stories about their plans for the summer; and in science the children did an experiment looking at the role shade trees play in keeping forested areas cooler in the summer. Which of the following do you think best exemplifies Kathy's understanding of Integrated Instruction?
A) She is confusing the use of a similar topic to teach the disciplines with integrating the disciplines.
B) She understands that identifying a key concept for a theme sets a clear focus for all instruction and learning.
C) She understands the value of using thematic instruction to put the teaching of cognitive skills within a real-world context.
D) She has a thorough understanding of the standards for each of the disciplines and can successfully identify the overlap among concepts and skills within each.
