Reflection on the Lesson

The big idea: Develop a problematic task that engages the students to use their prior knowledge and understanding to do the following:
  • invent multiple strategies
  • interact with each other and the teacher
  • reveal their strategies
  • having discourse with each other or the teacher to reflect on the strategies
  • refining the strategies
  • improve their understanding and knowledge
The purpose of the big idea for me is to remember the journey we began four weeks ago and where we are going.

My lessons have to reflect my big idea so my students will always be engaged in learning.

And the journey continues!

You said it so well once again. Will you pose this as a comment under my blog so I can have it as well? Thanks.

I think your understanding of big ideas and the reasoning behind a lesson will be beneficial in the classroom. As long as we work to get students to learn the big ideas we will be fine in the classroom.
