My first backwards design unit of the year is my Earth Materials unit. The beginning of the year has been a tough adjustment. I have been trying really hard to get my class organized with curriculum, behavior, and into the routine of a typical schedule. This process has been more difficult than it has been in other years.
Some of my curriculum has been hard to get to because of the time spent working on the classroom routine. The best work that I have done with my students so far has been my Earth Materials unit. I knew before I started where I needed to be at the end of this unit. I also knew exactly how I was going to get there. I am very focused and it makes my teaching of the BDU very easy, even with the hustle and bustle of the beginning of the year. I would love to take the time to put many more of my teaching into this format.
