In order to absorb information, students must first be assured that what they are taught is relevant to life outside the classroom. One way to do this, suggests Heidi Hayes Jacobs in this book, is to teach subjects at school in the same way we encounter them outside of school-- inextricably entwined to each other. To that end, Interdisciplinary Curriculum: Design and Implementation provides advice for teachers on how best to present material in a manner that connects subject areas to each other.
