Session 3 Connector It's great to see the variety of topics people are tackling... from plants to Othello! Don't forget to give feedback to your design team members and others... and then to revise your unit plan based on the feedback you get. A big concern expressed last week (aside from navigating and posting to the course site) was about essential questions and how to make them thought-provoking and open-ended. Workbook pages 83 and 91 might be helpful if you're still struggling with this.= ===This week you should be working on Design Stage 2... determining evidence of understanding. Try to get your plans posted on your participant page soon, so that everyone has time to read and give feedback over the weekend. This week's General Discussion should be a reflection on your responses to the self-assessment on page 143: What do the survey results suggest? What patterns do you notice? What does this suggest for student assessments of the unit you're currently planning? Some have already shared their reflections... remember to respond 2-3 times to others' posts with your own thinking!=== ||=
