Unit Plan Reflection
Biggest Takeaways:
When we make a unit plan, we are looking at the a whole picture rather than some separate lessons ahead of time. Instead of viewing lessons as isolated islands of knowledge, unit planning enables us to perceive them as interconnected bridges, guiding students from one concept to another. By doing so, we are able to build our lessons on the previous ones and make connected to what we have learned before and students will be able to see how these lessons work together and make contribute to unit goals. Moreover, we can anticipate students' needs and provide the necessary support, scaffolding their understanding and allowing them to ascend to higher levels of comprehension.
For the next time:
Get to know my students more! Consider how to design the unit to be more student-centered, allowing students to take an active role in their learning, make choices, and pursue their interests within the curriculum.
Differentiation: Know my students' capability and their needs. Plan for differentiated instruction to meet the diverse needs of students, including those who require additional support and those who need more challenging tasks.
Be fun! Think more about how to engaged my students and make more lessons more interactive.
