There is a general agreement about the value of helping learners make connections within and across key learning areas. Integrated units of work, based around topics of relevance and interest to students, are one vehicle for providing such planned contexts for learning. Kath Murdoch provides a repertoire of strategies designed to aid teachers in implementing an integrated curriculum. This repertoire can be drawn on and continually refined as units are planned and carried out. The strategies are generic in nature, they are easily modified to different age levels and to various topics. Teachers are encouraged to use the book like a menu, with a selection of ideas to choose from.
