Hey Everyone,
This week our group has really dove into expanding and improving our first lesson plan in our unit on immigration. I feel that the reason we were able to make such great progress is because of the immense amount of feedback we have been getting from our Professor, our classmates, and an outside source that is a knowledgeable and experienced teacher and literacy coach at a local school district. There have been suggestions made to improve just about every element of our lesson plan and the application of these suggestions have had a very positive effect on what will be the finished product. I am anxious and excited to keep working.
Another comment that I feel inclined to make about our progress is what it has done to our initial ideas for this unit. At the outset of this project, we had very specific ideas and goals in mind for where this lesson would go. However, as we got started and progressed through our first lesson, we quickly began to realize that our initial thoughts and ideas were being altered. We began to think of alternative routes to take that would serve to be a more fulfilling and thorough learning experience. I believe this to be happening because each group member brings such great and innovative ideas to the table!
I am hopeful and confident that we will continue working with thoughtfulness throughout this unit and I am anxious to see what the finished product looks like!

I am having the same experience, Meaghan. Our initial ideas about our lesson changed over time. Also, I do love to hear feedback on the lesson plan; from group members, our professor and other groups. It creates a positive, collaborative working environment.
