We were encouraged in the past to make connections across disciplines. I remember making big webs with these ideas. In fact, Ohio State University had a publication in children's literature called "The Web" in which they made big webs of connections among books and subjects. I am delighted to see this thinking resurface. It made sense then, and it makes sense now. For those of us who have been teaching for a long while, this idea is a throw-back to thematic teaching.
