Session+7

=Week Seven Assignments= ==

MCAS testing made the completion of last week’s assignment a challenge for everyone. Those of you who were unable to teach and video tape your lesson last week should do so as soon as possible. We encourage each of you to use the video of your lesson to reflect on how to make revisions. Unfortunately, due to size limitations, sharing your video on the wiki will be difficult. Please, be prepared to share your videos at the last face-to-face meeting on Tuesday, April 14, 2009. This week is your final opportunity to review and polish your unit. Be sure to revisit your essential questions and make changes as needed. Once your unit has been revised, copy and paste it into the Showcase Template. Upload your Showcase Template onto the Unit Showcase page of the wiki. The Unit Showcase page contains a table with your name. Next to your name, create a link to your Showcase Template. During this week’s general discussion, reflect on the changes you made to your unit plan and what you have learned from the UbD process. We look forward to reading your final unit plans.

 * = **Teach/Assess & Share Reflections** ||= Read the unit/lesson plans and reflections of at least 2 people who are not one of your design partners.

Use [|Thinkfinity] to explore lesson plans that have been designed by others who teach your subject/grade. ||= **Post Online** Review and polish each part of your lesson so that it can be posted online. After your unit has been revised, copy and paste the final version into the [|Showcase Template 1.doc]. Upload your Showcase Template onto the Unit Showcase page of the wiki.

Write a reflection about the unit you’ve designed and taught so far… what changes would you make? What have you learned? Post your reflections in the general discussion.

In preparation for next week's face-to-face, please revisit the self assessment tools completed at our 1st face-to-face. Take a moment to self -assess using the Instructional Planning & Implementation Continuum and the UbD assessment on page 272. Bring these assessment tools to our final meeting.

Be sure to respond to 2-3 other participants. ||
