    Thematic teaching involves organizing curriculum around broad themes and integrating multiple subjects like reading, math, and science within a theme. Effective themes are large concepts or systems that connect to students' lives. Instructors first choose a theme and related goals/objectives. They then plan instructional procedures and assessments around exploring the theme through different subjects. Thematic teaching has been shown to engage students and be effective in special education by making lessons more interconnected and meaningful.

    THEMATIC TEACHING

    DEFINITION
    • Thematic instruction is the organization of a curriculum around macro
    “themes.”
    • Thematic instruction integrates basic disciplines like reading, math,
    and science with the exploration of a broad subject, such as
    communities, rain forests, river basins, the use of energy, and so on.
    BASIC ELEMENT

    • Choosing a theme–Themes often involve a large, integrated system


    (such as a city, an ecosystem, and so on) or a broad concept (such as
    democracy, weather, and so on).
    • Instructors often strive to connect the theme to the students’
    everyday life. In some cases, students participate in choosing the
    theme or themes.
    • Thematic instruction is where a single theme is tied into multiple
    subject areas.
    • This method of teaching has been shown to be very effective in
    special education classrooms.
    • A “theme” could be anything from a current event, honing the skill of
    reading comprehension, a writing topic or a historical event.
    • For example, a historical event could be tied into all other subjects.
    The theme should be attention-getting — something that will grab
    the students’ interest and keep them engaged.
