Week Five Reflection
I think this week has been pretty productive for me. I did a lot of work on my unit plan, and think I am pretty much finished, except for some touch-ups. Dave gave me a lot of guidance on Wednesday at class, and I tried to implement items that I was missing or needed to tweek. I had a chance to look at Matt's unit plan, and he has a very good, thoughtful, and well planned out unit. I have a feeling Matt is a pretty awesome History teacher. I minored in History and love to read about the past. His unit plan on Jamestown and the question he askes are really interesting. Could pioneers to other planets learn from the mistakes at Jamestown? Maybe some day we will find out!

Wanda--no burns this week--it must be the sunscreen! Just kidding! One of the best things about working with a cohort is getting to know one another, collaborating, and learning from one another. So many of our classmates have wonderful ideas, like you said with Matt's unit, we can't helped but become educators by sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you have found the collaborative process worthwhile. This is an excellent group and I am confident the feedback has been beneficial. Take pride in the progress you have made. You have put together an excellent unit. I also the like the question you posed regarding Matt's unit: "Could pioneers to other planets learn from the mistakes at Jamestown?"

ReplyDeleteFirst off just want to say how nice and supportive you have been. To offer me any type of help really means a lot. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your blog, I agree that Matt's unit plan is great. I have a major in history and haven’t taught it in quite some time. The questions and assessments he came up with a quite interesting. Sometimes I feel the project based learning unit would best be utilized in a core class... but maybe (if you and I had the time with the kids) we can implement are units in the future. I really hope you get the job!
