71
classroomtools4/16/20124:06 PMA1 - I also focused on skills not content, using content as material for teaching skills. Goals were skills students would display. #sschat
72
Becky_Ellis_4/16/20124:06 PM@MsLivFLVS Q1... is it fair to discuss what typical social studies classes look like? How about planning by file cabinet? #sschat
73
gregkulowiec4/16/20124:07 PM@MsLivFLVS My planning looks like 1 or 2 questions that guide all classroom activities. #sschat

89
Becky_Ellis_4/16/20124:09 PM@classroomtools @MsLivFLVS so these would be examples of what not to do... right? Sad that many are perpetuating poor practice. #sschat

MsLivFLVS4/16/20124:10 PMQ2: #UbD requires planning backwards. (desired results, evidence, & exp.) What does this mean to you and students? #sschat
