 * Reflection: Still bits and pieces all over the place but I feel more confident that it will come together around a unit. But wish I had more time and energy inbetween the days. I find it hard to think clearly with people, activities, noise and movement going on around me. I need to get on my own to think things throught. But not tonight. Have to be at Telstra Dome at 6.45 pm for Graduation! Perhaps I can do some reading on the train. It's good having seen the examples of how student examples work in practice. It was also good finding out new tools in Word, Publisher, etc. that I can now use.**

eflclassroom.ring.com - Greg's ning site = Myspace for education.

Reflection:
Progress was iterative today. In trying to do the publication, I realised that I was not at all clear about my own unit and content questions and the assessment tasks related to these and so went back to clarifying these. I collected some great websites and tools (see below) but many of these went by so fast I probably won't get back to them if I don't do some consolidationfind again. I feel as though I got lots of bits and pieces today and that it will all come together later. This is often my style of learning: circling in towards something and the whole thing only becomes clear as the pieces develop and join up.

Essential questions
Not just teachers. Students choose question of value to them. These will have depth. Importance of asking the right questions. Answering these needs knowledge.

Activity
One of the most challenging aspect of this course it to ensure that your participants gain a clear understanding of **what are** //and// **why we use**// Curriculum Framing Questions. Curriculum Framing Questions encourage students to use higher order thinking, to gain important concepts centred around the issues and to organise and gain factual information. This activity is one way that you might help your participants to understand this concept more effectively. Activity: divide student into four groups. Have them look at each of these images and initially just come up with words that arise as they look at each image. Allow only a few minutes per image. Image1| Image2 | Image3 | Image41|
