06.30.13 ~ Curtain and Dahlberg - Chapter 6

06.30.13 ~ Curtain and Dahlberg - Chapter 6

This chapter was all about thematic units. The chapter opens with all the advantages of thematic units described in detail for the reader. I liked the numbered points and I also liked the way in which the authors used various graphics to explain what they were talking about (like the graphic explaining the framework of a thematic unit on page 154). The second half of the chapter was concerned with things like backwards design and an explanation of how to write a lesson plan. I think it is always good to review what you know and even though I knew a lot of the information, it was nice to look at the lesson planning process from a SLA perspective.
