Thematic lessons that cross subjects can create stronger student engagement. An example is shown of teaching math through drawing pictures of states to remember geographic facts. Thematic lessons address multiple standards at once and engage students by connecting to their interests through current events. Teachers are encouraged to brainstorm cross-curricular thematic lessons relevant to their students.
