Joan

Hi, I'm Joan (McInnes) from Glenunga International High School. I am looking forward to a productive week - how great to be released from the usual duties for this length of time to really come to grips with all of this.Let's not worry about what is mounting up and will be waiting for us on our return!

What real world connections are you considering? What would be the role of the students?Working in groups /teams - identifying roles and responsibilities and then selecting a role within the group, completing their part of the project and presenting their findings to the group What project scenario are you considering?

**Joan- Deb here. When you get a chance to look over that short story unit can you think about how I would be able to imbed the seeing reason tool into this unit. I don't think I can but tht could be because I am restricted by knowing who the kids are I wrote it for. Might be different if you are thinking about different students, or no particular students at all.**

After a very challenging weekend with much time devoted to twt but with little understanding and progression made, I returned for more of the same today, feeling very despondent. Steve (and others) have sort of talked me "out" of it - let's just say there is a slight glow at the end of the tunnel. I am about to abandon all previous "stuff" - well, not quite all but most - and rewrite the unit plan so it will eventually arrive here - work in progress!
