Please read Chapter 1 of Wiggins & McTighe (2005): Backward Design (Available via “Materials”) and upload your reading journal entry in “Reading Journal.”
Your reading journal entry should follow this format:
1. Upload in Google Doc format (if you upload Word or PDF files, please remember to convert them).
2. The document should be titled with your last name (ex: Navarre_Reading1)
3. The content should include:
1) a 150+ word summary of the reading
(Guiding Questions: What makes Backward Design “backward”? Why should we use Backward Design? What are the stages of Backward Design? What are the things to avoid when designing a lesson?)
2) a lesson plan following the stages of Backward Design. You may use this template to help you keep track of the stages (Do not mind the “reflection” section. It is for after the lesson is executed.):
