Feedback-Meredith'sUnit

Please feel free to leave any feedback about my Sustainability unit here. Thanks

Hi Meredith,

I just read your unit and I was very impressed with the work that you have done here. You have made your unit very manageable and worthwhile to make the point that sustainability is an essential part of education for this generation of children. Your unit has quite a few good assessment pieces in it and its a great idea to include the wiki into the unit ot allow students a chance to test out web 2.0 tools.

Well done on completing the course and I wish you all the best with implementing this unit. Darryl Spiteri

Hi Meredith,

I enjoyed reading the final version of your unit. You have developed some great activities for your class. Do you mind if I grab the group work check list? It looks great. I'd love to hear how the unit goes after you try it out on the kids. Enjoy the year! Angela

Meredith, congratulations on a great Unit Plan. Your learning activities were very thorough and easy to follow. Your EQ's were very clear and your standards very thorough. I really liked your intro presentation for the children and your assessment tools. I loved your idea of the children writing a newspaper article, with each child having a specific role. Well done! Cheers Erik

Hi Meredith Can only echo these comments and congratulate you on your unit. Your Unit Plan is very comprehesive and will prove very useful to your colleagues if you share this with your team back at school. Great to see the integration of web 2.0 tools and the blog will be a good way for the students to record their learning. There are also some fantastic online thinking tools that have been produced as part of the Thinking with Technology course that may help. They can be found at http://www.intel.com/cd/corporate/education/APAC/ENG/au/k12education/tools/330727.htm Really liked the integration of Maths activities too. Great support material with embedded Excel table/graph. Wondering also how the students will demonstrate a response to the Essential Question at the end of the unit. Are you planning a Showcase or Expo to finish off? Congratulations again Meredith and good luck with this back at your school. David

Hi Meredith, I enjoyed reading through your showcase. You have provided some great activities for your students. I like the use of the web 2.0 tools. You have put a lot of detail into your unit plan, and I liked the PowerPoint for your introduction to the unit. Some of our groups are doing recycling and waste reduction this year - do you mind if I share your unit plan with them? Good luck Heather
