I'm a huge fan of Understanding by Design which Ginger Attarian and I used to design
our unit at the workshop two summers ago, and which we convinced our whole faculty to
read and discuss last summer. The twin ideas of guiding questions and backward design
have become part of our everyday vocabulary. What do we want students (or new
teachers, or participants in our workshop, or whatever) to know and be able to do at
the end of the experience, course, term etc. is a question asked regularly.
I would be very interested to see what you come up with in a unit for The Watsons as
I've become enamored of making LOC connections with historical fiction. Do let us
know what you come up with, Gail.
