UbD: Chapter 3

Chapter 3 brought up the fact that there is going to be a lot of material to cover and it is important to determine what is going to be covered and to what extent. I know that is something that I am going to have to deal with myself as a teacher. Also the whole idea of creating a course backwards I find to be a great idea and would like to use the concept when creating my own courses. It is important to think of what you want your students to know at the end of the class and go from there. As a teacher I am going to have to think about what my students will know in reading and writing at the end of the year. Also the chapter explained how important it is to stick to same criteria for every student, but the way they show their knowledge of the criteria can be in different ways. I want to offer my students different options such as posters and essays to show present their ideas on a topic because all students learn differently.
