WHERETO+Directions


 * Directions for Student Instruction Project **

For Part 2 of the Student Instruction Project, you will work with the “Creating a More Humane and Environmentally Sound Future” lesson plan and focus on Chapter 9 “Planning for Learning” in //Understanding by Design//. After reading Chapter 9 of //Understanding by Design//, you will participate in your group discussion regarding the representation of the **WHERETO**Elements in Instructional Planning in the “Creating a More Humane and Environmentally Sound Future” lesson plan.
 * Your goal is to discuss on the discussion board, which of the WHERETO elements are already present in the lesson plan and identify what you would have to think about in order to address all of the **WHERETO** elements.
 * Your discussion should also include examples of how the teacher, media specialist, and technology specialist can contribute to the implementation of the **WHERETO** elements.
 * Following your discussion each of you will individually complete and submit the Part 2 Form in the assignment dropbox.
