I am so ecstatic about the way we are unit planning right now and using activities or resources as our starting points. I’m coming up with far more ideas for units than I have allotted teaching time. I’m OK with that because I know this is a good problem to have. Personally, I feel like someone finally took the training wheels of my bike and I now have the freedom to do backflips at the BMX park! I’ve learned that it’s OK to take a really cool activity, text, video, and song, and craft a lesson (that even I want to do!) around it that hits SLOs.
I can’t wait to see what we do next.
