Arts Integration Topical-Specific topic from one discipline is
determined where connective and interactive relationships among disciplines are explored-i.e. dance reinforces measurement
Teaching Tool-One discipline serves the other by providing a vehicle through which knowledge can be efficiently learned and remembered-i.e. drama teacher writes a play about a SS standard
Arts Integration
An approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form . Students engage in creative process which connects an art form and another subject as it meets evolving objectives in both
