Session+6

=Week Six Assignments= =3/31 - 4/6=

**Welcome to Session 6**

It’s been very exciting to see the units you’re designing “come to life” in detailed lesson plans and a discussion of differentiation strategies. We want to acknowledge how challenging it is to go through this process in such a short period of time! It seems that the posting modifications outlined last week have not helped everyone, as many of you are continuing to post feedback on your partners’ pages and using the general discussion to share reflections on the week’s theme. So be it!

Our main concern is that each of you get quality feedback. Most of you have been giving general responses to one another’s plans; the Peer Review on UbD Workbook page 247 will help focus your feedback on the Unit Design as a whole and you will have another opportunity to work with it during Session 7.

For now, the focus is on beginning to teach your unit and reflecting on each lesson’s effectiveness: //What worked? Challenges? Next steps? //Please post these reflections to the general discussion. Your video should be posted to your individual page. Remember to contact Ed if you’d like some additional tech support, such as help editing and uploading video excerpts… he is available this Thursday afternoon from 3-5 PM at the OIIT.
