As Ramina and I work on the next section of our Unit Chunk, and after my conference with Sarah, I feel very happy with the way my unit is turning out.
You may not know this about me, but I doubt myself A LOT. Earlier today, I was listening to a song by Kendrick Lamar (and some other guys), "Control." Not sure if you're into hip-hop, but it's am-AH-zing! Anyway, Big Sean, one of the guys on the track says, "No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind," that's me. It's funny, ironic, or what have you, but when that part of the song came on, I was actually working on (typing out) some stuff for my unit chunk. Awesome.
Anyway, yeah, my unit is coming together. I feel that last week's workshop helped me to clearly see where I was on my overall unit progress. As we turn in our unit chunks, the little pieces of work we turn in weekly are merely fragments of the overall masterpiece, and that's pretty cool. My little "mediocre" pieces are tiny little rough drafts that get worked on by someone else in class. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have a peer read my drafts and then tell me her thoughts on how to make it better. I listen, so I know the second and final drafts will be pretty ok.
As far as my progress goes, for this week, Ramina and I focused on creating and working on Unit objectives, the Overview of Methods and Strategies, and working on at least two or three detailed lesson plans. It might seem like a lot, but I think we did well in planning out for this week's unit chunk. After all, we only have two more class meetings to work on the Unit. Right?
I think it's important to "tackle" these next parts of the Unit now so that the home stretch is not too tiresome.
Hope you are staying cozy!
