Chapter Six - Standards

A.
R. This was a really interesting chapter. It was great to read that Wormeli thought large projects should be broken up into smaller pieces. So many times in my own academic career I've waited until the last minute to get things done. They do get done, but not the way I would want them to me. I think that big projects are great, but breaking them into smaller pieces and having constant deadlines for each part, are how big projects come together the best.

It is difficult to always have standards in mind. Sometimes you need to fit the lesson into a standard, and sometimes you need to the fit the standard in the lesson. There really are so many loopholes to following standards, which is nice. I think that standards are something I would talk about with my own students. It's possible that they could think of even better activities than I could for achieving the standards.
