Thematic curriculum can unite every subject around a local environmental place
Evidence
The curriculum of SES is centered around the environment. Each term, subjects are all connected to a common theme, such as rivers, mountains, or forests. When students study rivers, for example, they look at novels about rivers and do math about water use, but also focus on the local watershed within which they live. — Rebecca A. Martusewicz, Jeff Edmundson, and John Lupinacci, EcoJustice Education, 1842
