Part of the larger Informal Education Series, this publication brings together many of the materials prepared by Rosanne Kessens for teachers and parents involved in Follow Through settings. Contents first explore theme development as an integrated approach to learning and then describe strategies for planning themes. Subsequent materials offer guidelines for beginning an animal theme as well as for organizing themes about animals imaginary and ridiculous, talking animals, pourquoi stories, fables, small bugs, turkeys, houses, a hat collection, machines helping people work, toys and Christmas wishes, snow, water, and wind.
