How
do I feel about my unit? Have I progressed as much as I hoped I would have by
this point? What more can I do to improve the unit? Questions I ask myself
almost daily…
Overall,
I think things are going really well. I am really focused on what I am doing
and think that I would be able to teach this unit to a class. This week, Chris
and I decided we would have completed unit maps to discuss and turn in for
review. I think this is going really well for me, however I am having a bit of
trouble with deciding what assessments and skills I would like to test with
what texts. I keep moving things around, and have basically felt pretty
indecisive about all this. Also, I am having a bit of difficulty deciding what
standards align with each portion of the unit. I think this comes with
practice, and I haven’t been faced with needing to align standards with my
lessons before. Now, I think I am being forced to, which in turn could be good.
Other
than that, I am really enjoying creating this unit. I feel really engaged and
wish that when I was in middle and high school, my teachers created
comprehensive units like this to teach us. I really like the idea of
incorporating novels, films, poetry, and other media/texts in order to reach
different types of learners and to further understanding in units. Hopefully
when I am presented with my own classroom, I will be conscious of this, just as
I am right now.
