Subject: History in English
I have thought of a similar idea for a few years now.
In order to make our teaching relevant to the pupils
what is better than making it part of the curriculum of
other subjects. In this way there is no more "there is
nothing to study for the English exam" excuse.
My vision is teaching parallel to other subjects, part
of the material or supplementary to it. For instance,
one month we teach about the industrial revolution at
the same time as the History teacher does. The month after
that, we teach about rain forests with the geography
teacher. etc.
The pupils are tested at the same time on what they learnt
in the Hebrew and English classes - content wise. Of course
in the English class we use the texts we teach also for
teaching English as we always do i.e. grammar, vocab, writing etc.
