Dear Reader,
Sorry I have not blogged recently! My brain has yet to leave spring break. The past couple of weeks, besides spring break, I have been working hard in my Instructional Planning class creating my first lesson plan unit. As of today I have completed Stage 1 and Stage 2. I like how this concept of planning has me look to the big idea of what I want my students to learn. First I started by planning what CCSS to use, man in goals, my essential questions, and what students will know/be able to. Next, I complete Stage 2 by planning how I will assess my students to one of my essential questions. At first this was tricky for me because I like planning step by step, in order. Now I have learned the big picture I want my students to understand. All of the details will be planned in Stage 3, but for now I know how I want to teach and ways I will assess my students. After learning about lesson planning, and seeing it in action in the classroom, I have a new love for creating essential questions. They are so important for students to understand the purpose of what they are learning and what their goal for the lesson should be. As a teacher I love essential questions from how they benefit students and how it is the big picture of lessons.
In my gallery there is pictures of my unit plan in action!
Thanks for keeping up with my process of becoming an effective teacher. Hope you like my unit plan!
