One of the most powerful strategies in teaching is taking a cross-curricular approach and to incorporate curriculum expectations from various subject areas to create an engaging activity. It involves a conscious effort to apply knowledge, principles, and values to more than one academic discipline simultaneously. In contrast to learning skills in isolation, interdisciplinary experiences motivate the students to see the value of their learning.
This second edition is a collection of inspiring articles of cross-curricular activities which clearly demonstrate how integrating Science into English can be constructively educational.
The highlight of this issue is an informative text on‘ Recycling’. Using elements from many of the cross curricular key aspects of learning, it’ s a hands-on exploration in learning and teaching in the middle years. The aim of it is to encourage students to transfer language acquired in English lessons to a written and practical task in a Science project.
The culmination of Grade 1’ s textual understanding of science fiction exhibited by the students of the class will surely stir your mind and take you to the surreal world of unalloyed joy and pleasure.
This issue is to be viewed as a launch pad for the children’ s creative urges to blossom naturally. It unleashes a wide spectrum of creative skills ranging from writing to editing and even in designing the magazine. HEARTILY BIDDING HAPPY READING TO ALL THE READERS!!! �
