In this chapter, Teaching for Understanding, Tomlinson and McTighe explain that understand of the “big ideas” require students to construct meaning for them. They talk about the essential questions in teaching, as well as tips for using the essential questions in teaching. The thing that I found most interesting and most helpful was figure 7.3. The brainstorming learning activities chart showed me a different way to organize my thoughts into the six facts of understanding. This would be a great tool to use in making my lesson plans in differentiated instruction.
