Integrated – what, how, who, when & why?
What is it?• theme & concept based, cross-curricular subject in which
students approach ideas in a variety of ways• it is generally unable to be done in the traditional subject
classroom
Common elements in the units of work (7-10) involve a combination of the following:• individual & varied group work (2s or 3s, generally)• use of technology of some form• personal choice & justification of choice• differentiation of tasks• creative thinking• reflection during or after tasks
![Page 12: Edublogs presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052311/556543e9d8b42a902d8b4a0c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Who does it?• All students in Years 7, 8, 9 & 10• Each Year group has 8 Advisors in Years 7 & 8• Each Advisor works with a House group called an Advisory
group, although groupings are varied throughout the year across units of work
Units of work, classes and hours• At Loreto Normanhurst, there are 6 periods a day. • There are 29 teaching lessons & 1 Assembly lesson each week
which means 58 lessons a fortnight.• In Year 8 Integrated, we meet 10 times each fortnight.

1) The Design Brief
![Page 29: Edublogs presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052311/556543e9d8b42a902d8b4a0c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Individual Roles• Each company will have 3 owners who will each have a
different role to play in the development process.
• You will be exposed to the skills and qualities required for these roles in workshops.
• You will then negotiate with your other 2 group members which role you feel you are best suited for.
• Once decided, each person will then specialise.
![Page 30: Edublogs presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052311/556543e9d8b42a902d8b4a0c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Team work• As a specialist, you will
then work with your team members to produce the best public space development.
• The success of your team will depend on each person being responsible for their own role & communicating with the other group members to make good decisions.

Edublogs tip #2Theme choice• The Theme is the appearance of your blog• There are currently 222 themes from which to choose• This is perhaps the area that warrants the most amount of time
due to trial & error• It really depends on purpose of the blog• Some are simple with one column whereas others have 2 or 3
columns• Here is a link that compares the qualities of many themes on
the edublogger. • Here is another from the University of OregonOnline support to help you learn & problem solve• http://help.edublogs.org/user-guide• http://www.theedublogger.com/
