Intel class reflections

Phew! I have finally connected to this blog site. It has not been without considerable stress.

The activity that I have found most beneficial is creating curriculum framework questions. I am a very detailed oriented person, therefore I find it easy to come up with the unit questions. However, I find it quite a challenge to come up with a question that is broad enough to encompass many disciplines as I begin my framework. Hopefully with practice this will become easier.

I am looking forward to finding out more about this blogging stuff. I think I could use this to do book talks on line with my students. I think that would be great fun.

  1. This is what I have come up with so far for my unit plan. I am doing a shared study with my social studies teacher on the Middle Ages.

    How important is your family?
    What was life like during the Middle Ages?
    What are the elements of a well written essay?
    Why is accurate research important in writing historical fiction?
    What is a family crest?
    What is genealogy?
    How do you create a family tree using Open Mind?
    How does setting affect the plot of a story?
    How did Avi create suspense in Crispin?
    How do you write a nonfiction story based on someone else’s memory of an event?
