This week I think the biggest thing to remember is the WHERETO acronym from Understanding by Design. This acronym describes the elements needed to plan effective activities to support understanding.
W=Where are we going? What is the point?
H=A hook that would get kids engaged.
E=Equipping students with what they need to know to complete assigned tasks.
R=Revise as reflect on your work.
E=(Self) Evaluation.
T=Tailored to students' needs and learning styles.
O=Organized sequence of activities.
This acronym is important because it really keeps lesson activity development targeted on the goals of the unit.
