Paul, I am glad that you mentioned cross-curricular integration in regards to article #2.  It is something that we as teachers are seeing more and more of today.  It benefits us in the classroom and helps to fill a void where a subject might otherwise take a backseat.  In my previous district our social studies curriculum was integrated into our reading units.  There were obvious connections and benefits, but this also raised the question of the primary learning objectives being first reading and then second social studies.  Needless to say, cross-curricular creation of lessons builds a more robust lesson, but we need to be careful to not dilute the objective.
