What went well - Why?
In finally teaching the Unit Organizer, it went well, however, drafting this device was really a challenge. This is not something that I will use regularly in my role as a consultant or in the type of work that I usually do. You really need to use this to plan around a unit that has ongoing learning, and I seldom do this in my current role.
What was a challenge - Why?
The challenge came in when I was trying to create and design a unit without any curriculum or resources. It felt very forced. However, I can see that this would help teachers with the content they may be teaching in their classrooms.
What you will do next time
I would want to use the UO with a subject area text or an area in which I need to explain an overview of a unit.
What adjustments you made
I had to change the categories multiple times, to ensure that they read with the relationships in a clear sentence and made sense.
