As I reviewed the lesson, I saw a great deal of content integrated across
multiple subject areas.
Students are working across
multiple subject areas — science, art, music, literature, writing, math — all of which will inform their project and deepen their understanding.
Students share in monitoring growth in their competencies and progress along learning continuums, often across
multiple subject areas.»
