In order to provide enrichment that is meaningful and is aligned with the standards in social studies and ELA, it is important that collaboration takes place among interdisciplinary lines. By teachers meeting across the curriculum, solutions and enrichment can be engaging and meaningful.

The foundation for student engagement in this scenario may be strengthened if steps are taken to ensure that students connect with the content on a personal level-- that is, students should be able to relate themselves to Anne Frank in some way. These types of connections allow for more meaningful learning experiences and heightened engagement overall.

One solution to help the students with interdisciplinary activities would be to look at other diaries and primary sources from the time period in language arts and then map and chart where these people were in relation to Anne Frank over the course of their study. Students could also look at primary source images from this period of time. Then taking all this into consideration in math class could calculate the time, money, and miles to make the trip to see these places today.
