SO…How do I get started?
WHAT CLASS/SUBJECT AM I GOING TO USE?
What topic will I use?
Curriculum: What are the state standards? What are the essential concepts your students need to get from this theme?
Connections: How will you establish an effective way to connect material to student experiences and prior knowledge? (This will aid in making the lessons student centered)
Collaboration: What other subject areas can connect with your theme? How can you assist students in building skill sets beyond your own subject area/discipline?
Community: What are the needs of the community? Can a project be developed around the content of this theme to bring community awareness to a current local or countrywide issue or problem? How can this project build student character, compassion, sense of purpose, and appreciating the needs of others?
Other considerations: How will you meet the needs of all students in the classroom?
