This was a short week for us but also very informative! Today's blog we are going to be talking about Wednesday's and Friday's class period. Our main focus this week was Alignment and Lesson Planning
Here below is the backwards design that was demonstrated on Wednesday's class period.
The three steps to Lesson Planning: Aligning Standards, Objectives, and Assessment.
Step 1: Start with the Standard
- Standards are what you must teach
- Curriculum can vary and is supposed to help you teach the standards
Step 2: Create an Objective
- Objective must come from the standard
- Adapt it to fit your students' needs and the pacing you are using
- You can use part of the objective if it is complicated
Step 3: Creating the Assessment
- Use your objective as your assessment
In Friday's class period we switch laptops with a partner and had each other read and reflect on our lesson plans that we have been doing. We talk about what is planned for the lesson plan, we analyze our partners plan and assessment and give constructive feedback on what was good and what might need some improvement on. After analyzing and reflecting our partners plan and assessment, we got to edit and rebuild our lesson plans to be evaluated again.

Hello! I liked how you included backwards design in your reflection. I think it is very important to include how to create alignment so we can use it when we plan our future lessons! Great Job!
Hey Ali! I like the layout of your blog. I also like how you listed the backward design and your explanations.
