A planning frenzy
That is what today will be. I have a lot to do today and I want to get it done before Super Bowl tomorrow.
I've been working over the problem in the previous post, the anchor phenomenon for the next unit. I'm still not any closer to having one. That is definitely on my list today. The activity I talked about last post, counting candies, I think I will save for the summative task. They will have to put all their knowledge from the unit into figuring out what kind and how many candies are in the container I give them. I think that will be a great summative task so that leaves me hunting for an anchor phenomenon still. I guess it's going to be a lot of internet searching today.
I do want to get the next unit completely laid out so that I don't have to reinvent the wheel every single week. So I'm going to draw up a unit plan that lays out the day by day.
I also need to finish up the biology unit. Figure out how much longer we have and work in the Big Ideas for the unit.
So the notebooks are awesome but, as I believe I've stated before, I haven't worked them into my teaching routine. That is something I have to do this unit to make sure I get it all covered and not stuff it in at the end like I did with this chemistry unit.
Again today I forgot to grow my tree. That's okay, I'm going to end this here. I've got a lot to do and I want to make a list so I don't forget.
