Book Synopsis

Responding to the diversity that exists in today's classrooms, Kellough attempts to enhance the teaching (and therefore learning) of individual disciplines by connecting them to both the entire curriculum and the real world.

The book begins by covering fundamentals important to all teachers of Grades 4-9, then provides examples, methods and activities for integrating the instruction of language arts and social studies.
