• Use the curriculum as a guide to address specific questions or ideas that will stimulate thought about what you will include in your unit.

• I will help you think about what to include in sections of the framework each week.

• Tonight:

Questions for Deep Understanding:Broad Areas of Learning:Cross Curricular Competencies:

QUESTIONS FOR DEEP UNDERSTANDING

- Not only should you be asking yourself questions to guide you in your unit planning, but you can center your unit for students around some key questions?

- Guiding questions help students grasp the key ideas and concepts.

- They provide a framework, purpose and direction for learning.

- If we want students to develop a deeper understanding, we don’t teach topics in isolation. We teach students how things relate to each other and invite students to think again about ideas and topics in sequential lessons.

- Example for grade 1:- What makes me healthy?- What do I want to know about being healthy?- How am I the same and different from other people?
