    A1- start with standards, work backwards to see how to get there + can do statements #langchat
  • mrsbolanos Oct 26 @ 8:09 PM EDT

  • Erinrae0399 Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    I think ab what real-World task I want Ss to do with predetermined unit theme: box and gramr; work bkwds from there.#langchat
  • jnowak_asl Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: We created their assessments and then created our lessons based off of those. #langchat

    In reply to @CadenaSensei
  • mrsbolanos Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1. I wish I was better at keeping units concise...sometimes they seem to draaaaag on. Not fun for anyone. #langchat
  • alexjhyer Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: Assess based on what students know and find their strengths for activity choices. #langchat
  • profedenham Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1 I don’t use learning targets, I use unit goals. That I keep to myself. I’m really here to learn what others do with learning 🎯 #langchat
  • MMuellerFrench Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: Using backwards design can help with this because it allows you to decide end goals before creating activities. #langchat #Teach2Teach
  • jnowak_asl Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: Breaking down the material and then building language based off what the students know. #langchat
  • windycitysenora Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: Also use formative assessments to inform the next learning targets, so I know where we need to go(and so do the ss) #langchat
  • Marishawkins Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    I think that you could stretch an objective or can do statement over two days #langchat
    In reply to @JessieOelke
  • SECottrell Oct 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1 so if we're doing "I can answer 'what time is it' we've previously done e.g. "I can answer how many using numbers X to X" #langchat

  • CadenaSensei Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    I hear you on that. A lot of my "daily" LTs end up taking 1.5 lessons, due to mis-planning on my part or just outside factors #langchat
    In reply to @SECottrell
  • MaCristinaRV Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1: Use backward design and ask yourself which activities relate to the learning target. #langchat
  • Marishawkins Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    This has been hard for me developing new units- sometimes I don't get to all of my objs so I recycle them in the next unit #langchat

    Side note, I'm using novels as basis of this semester & totally lost my mojo on unified Can Do statements. Hoping 4 insight 2nite #langchat
  • CadenaSensei Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    so oftentimes I am finishing one learning target halfway through class, and starting another in second half #langchat
    In reply to @SECottrell
  • rlgrandis Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Targets repeat from time to time, but I think if I need multiple days to reach one target then it needs to be broken down more #langchat
    In reply to @JessieOelke
  • 7gspanish Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

    A1: take a hard &long look at unit’s essential question & enduring understandings. Ask what Ss can do now & what u want them to do #langchat
  • senoraMThomas Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1 Start unit with end in mind. Sometimes interpersonal, other performance. What culture implications? Then backward design #langchat

    A1: I try to pull in more specific can-do statements that link back to the broader unit can-dos #langchat
  • mrsbolanos Oct 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Yes-but I think a term can be too long for 1 unit sometimes...esp with snow days thrown into the mix! 2 Unit/term would be great #langchat
    In reply to @Erinrae0399
  • Marishawkins Oct 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    I would say yes- but I try to limit it to 1-2 specific goals then I have more overarching ones that I always touch upon each day #langchat

    I can't believe it's that #langchat time already: reflection (and maybe mini goal setting).

    A5 for me EVERY SINGLE LESSON as reminder to big goal because daily LT are a stepping stone. everything else just naturally falls #langchat

    TA similar to my life, I feel comfortable with beginnings, middles get a little weird, & endings never actually happen. #langchat

  • Elisabeth13 Oct 26 @ 8:58 PM EDT
