content outline

lesson plans are interesting. the content outline is kind of intense. who knew there was so much prep time...how illuminating. so, anyone want to know about plate tectonics? I'm gonna have a week's worth of lessons out of this semester. and they're on plate tectonics. I'm glad I like plate tectonics...granted, I did pick the topic, but still. it's not so bad, I guess, but the first draft is due Wednesday at 4:30 (?). plus my backward design unit plan. I have to write understand, know, and do statements. understand statements are actually pretty hard to write...they have to be just vague enough but have to have some details about applicability. so you come up with the lesson goals before writing the lesson...too bad I didn't do that. I wonder how that's going to work out. anywho. I should get back to work...
