Ideas for Class: Here I keep notes that pop into my head as I read and review the chapters, notes about activities we might do in class that would serve to deepen our understanding of certain content in the course.

written for thursday, june 28th. 1. use the current lesson about plant parts and adjust the activities using the slider 2. use the strategies listed in 9.2. Do a internet search on one or two of these. Use it - perhaps- in the plan.

written before class on tuesday, july 3rd. planning model: what I tried to do here is separate out the actual teaching line from the planning model that surrounds it while connecting it to the idea of differential outcomes as spoken to in the interactive teaching discussion
