Tomorrow we are finally finishing our social studies region project. This is my second year doing this project on New Jersey's regions. We have tried to improve on the project, and if we do it next year, I would still change a few things.
Our district is embracing the UbD and DI philosophy, and I am trying to create units in social studies that comply with this plan. My attempt to have the students answer the essential questions about this unit was a lesson in patience. I learned that higher level thinking needs to be fostered in this grade level. We have also been working on answering open-ended questions in reading. It has been a difficult week. I need to recharge my batteries. I also need to have a break from group work. Certain groups do not work well together and I'm tired of being the facilitator. I really need the winter break.
