Stage 1

Yay I'm done with stage 1!!! This was a long, frustrating, yet eye opening process. It was difficult for me to think of essential questions and come up with enduring understandings. I would write something like, "Students will understand that they need common denominators to add/subtract fractions", which I thought was specific enough. When I was asked by my coach (hello) to dig deeper, I didn't know what else she wanted, but a few emails later I started getting the hang of it.
Though this process was frustrating, it was definitely insightful.
