The following is my initial blog: "My CT and I discussed the future plans, and the general estimate is that I will be teaching about transformations on a linear function. So, my objective for the first lesson is, "Students will understand how adding a coefficient to f(x)…
One of the objectives for my upcoming capstone lessons is “I can determine the slope of a line from a graph or table.” One way I could connect the lesson to students’ interests and create a cognitively demanding task or assessment for class time would be to have students analyze…
1. My biggest takeaway from building this unit was how our standards can really inform us of what we should be doing for our lesson planning. This is also the connection I've made during this phase of our learning. For example, we can create our learning objectives based…
A reflection on my unit plan My biggest takeaway from writing this unit was getting my head wrapped around the breadth of information that I needed to include. It was a challenge to think in terms of Big Ideas without getting too hung up on details that one would find…
My biggest takeaway from building a unit is having a good balance of time dedicated to note-taking and activities. As teachers, we know our content. We can stand in front of the class and lecture the ins-and-outs of the topic. But we forget that we can be "boring"…
My biggest takeaway when building a unit was planning ahead and making sure everything connected to the big idea. It is difficult to know what the unit will compose of, especially when considering the individual lesson plans will come later in segments. Having something to glue everything together therefore was…
The biggest takeaway from building the unit plan was seeing how everything connects to each other in the big picture of learning. For my unit I had the big goal of having students be able to model something and then analyze it, but the students can't start there.…
One of my goals for this unit is for students to be able to explain or describe the implications of climate change locally and globally. To do this, students will be switching from note-taking to studying a simulation in order to practice recording data/observations to support their claims. One…
Blog #2 1. Choose one of the goals that you have chosen for your unit plan. Explicitly talk about it. Best practices for agriculture soil use artificial chemical fertilizers vs. natural compost Dok Level 4 Debate: analyze multiple sources of evidence; synthesize information across multiple sources The last goal that…
I think a goal I'd have for my students is to have them come up with a scenario where they can compare two similar functions to then make an informed prediction. This covers a lot of standards, including interpreting functions, graphing functions, and analyzing functions, all including different…
