Intel Class
I have enjoyed the Intel class so far. I found our last meeting to be the most beneficial. I learned more about creating meaningful essential questions. I feel I now have a better understanding of the importance of these questions to anchor student learning. I also enjoyed working with Microsoft Publisher. Although I have used this program before, I have not used it to create a brochure for parents. Therefore, I created a brochure to give to parents and students to introduce the 4th 9 weeks. I think parents will appreciate this form of communication that is concise, visually appealing, and easy to read. I can't wait to see the other neat things we will learn about and hopefully incorporate them into my unit plan.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI think using the Dr. Seuss as as way to introduce renewable and non renewable resources is quite clever. You are right, who doesn't love Dr. Seuss?
I also liked using the Microsoft Publisher to create something for parents. So often I get in the rut of using Word only. I agree that the parents will find this approach informative and more interesting.
