This document outlines an interdisciplinary lesson integrating native language, art, and English/German language around the topic of the "kingdom of imagination." The lesson plans for each subject aim to develop students' imagination, language, and group work skills. In the native language lesson, students analyze a poetic text about imagination and complete creative writing exercises. In art, students interpret abstract paintings and collaboratively build "magic boxes." Finally, the English/German lesson focuses on describing the magic boxes using target vocabulary and grammar structures.
