Check out this URL: http://publish.learningfocused.com/262004 It goes to unit maps that were put together using FL state standards, backwards design and essential questions. Maybe seeing one done would help working through the steps. Just click on one of the units on the left side or if you wanted to see a unit in your subject area, click up in the upper left corner on ??? - golly I've forgotten - something like Pasco Curriculum - it takes you to all grade levels and subject areas that maps have been planned out on. :o) Pam/6th Gr./FL -----Original Message----- From: Lise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>OK...let's see if i am getting the idea. i can begin wth the test or >>>state standard and then create the lesson from there? is that the general idea? Here's how I think this through- I would start with your state standards. Cluster a few that would work together, since it's impossible to teach every standard in isolation (at least this is true for my state). Then think what knowledge and skills do your students need to know and be able to do to meet the standards? Think of the most effective way to assess their knowledge. (I rarely use multiple choice tests.) Create an assessment and a rubric so you CAN assess it (I use the state rubric: exceeds, meets, approaches and falls far below) Then make sure your instruction matches the assessment. You will probably need to scaffold your lessons depending on the complexity of the standard. I think of it as a spiral rather than getting from point A to point B. _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
