What are your ideas for units of study you might improve this year?

Think-Pair-Square 
Think
  • What might be a unit of instruction you would like to improve this year ? 
Pair
  • Find a "sole" mate and share your topic ideas.
Square
  • Join another pair and share responses. What are your ideas about "real world" connections to your unit topics?

Putting Into Practice
  • Review the STEM Literacy Project Unit Plan Template, and make a copy to edit.
  • Focus on one unit of instruction you will be teaching this year.
  • Consider these questions:
    -What is the rationale of the unit? Why is it important?
    -What goals do you have for what students will learn and do in this unit? 
    -Why does this lesson/content/focus matter in the larger scheme of life?
    -What areas might this lead to for issues, problems, questions?
  • Select 1-2 lessons from this unit of instruction to focus on. How might these align with the attributes of STEM literacy lessons?
  • What areas does this lesson/content/focus connect to beyond your curriculum (math, science, literacy).
  • Connect to Standards.
  • Share progress with your Think-Pair-Square groups.
