Curriculum integration involves selecting a topic and then considering areas of overlap or enrichment that are possible across separate subjects by asking what are the key subject concepts and subject competencies that you want students to learn in the topic. It is important to ensure that you go beyond everyday, common-sense knowledge or key competencies to focus on subject concepts and competencies. It is also important to consider the order in which the content will be shared with students, how the students will be provided with access to the knowledge they need, how the key subject concepts relate to each piece of content, and the types of learning activities you will use to explore the subject concepts and content, such as reading, direct instruction, and guided inquiry.
