59 How to Plan Integrated Lessons

Episode Description

Rather than teaching subjects in silos, which can lead to teacher burnout and hinder students’ ability to make connections, use the science or humanities curriculum as a starting point for lesson planning. Edwina shares how to plan integrated lesson plans that teach the necessary English skills linked to science or humanities topics. The episode also highlights the benefits of using hands-on activities, non-fiction texts, and outdoor experiences to enhance learning.
