I know this was really confusing and kinda scary at first, and I think you're all doing great. I love that you are posting your ideas and asking each other for thoughts. This is exactly what teachers do -- and exactly what I was talking about when I said dissonance, or not knowing exactly what to do or even what it's going to look like, was tough.
I knew that I could put you in your seats and have you listen to me lecture some more about unit planning and read more about learning but I think, at this point, you were ready to put your wheels to the road and try tying some of this together. You're going to bring in everything you've got to class next week and we're going to look at them and make suggestions and try some things out. I'll bring in a unit of my own I designed long ago in the same ways and we'll critique it. And most of all, we'll look at how you've integrated literacy strategies and texts.
Keep thinking about texts. What are different kinds of texts you can use with your students to teach and reinforce ideas, especially for different learners. Think about multimedia texts, online sources, even guest speakers and interviews.
And keep going. You're on the right track, folks.
