Building a Home for the Mind
1. What are the essential parts of a Thoughtful Curriculum Unit?
2. What standards do we use to evaluate classroom curriculum units?
3. How do Thoughtful Curriculum Units maintain high standards for all, while still providing for student diversity?

Every good lesson should have:
A Foyer: introduce, establish goals, engage and motivate, connect to personal experience
A Library: acquire new information, readings, lectures, demonstrations, videos
A Workshop: practice and rehearse new knowledge and skills
A Kitchen: cook up an assessment, demonstrate what has been learned and how it applies
A Porch: sit back and reflect on learning and how it applies to themselves and future learning

Use the “Slide Structure” to analyze your personal incidents.
Think of a Time, a personal incident that changed the way you look at things.
What happened BEFORE, DURING and AFTER?
Share your notes with a friend. What are some of the common characteristics of such incidents?
