INTRODUCTION
As a group, we have decided to produce lecture notes on the understanding of thematic and integrated learning approaches for student teachers.
Theme
| A theme is a topic or unit on which learning is based. Some of the examples of themes are myself, water, weather, plants and animals. |
Sub-theme
| A sub-theme is a specific topic for a specific lesson, e.g. domestic animals. |
| Clear statements showing what the learners should be able to do at the end of the learning experience.
There should be at most 3 objectives for a lesson.

MATERIALS
Teaching and learning materials related to the sub-theme that can be used to help the learners achieve the specified objectives; e.g. models, pictures, charts etc.
