Example Work Bundle from Ecology Unit that follows Slideshow.
Daily lessons space exciting hands-on activities, red slide notes, video and academic links, projects, simulations, readings, built-in quizzes, and review opportunities throughout the slideshows. A typical day may have many different learning styles being targeted. Daily lesson planning becomes advancing through the slideshow roadmap the night before. Each lesson is roughly 50 minutes, but sometimes things can speed up or slow down. The best strategy is just to go at your classes own pace. The work bundle follows the slideshow and you can always spend extra time assessing the quality of the writing within. If you don’t quite finish a lesson you can always pick it up the next day where you left off. The only real trick in timing is not starting a larger activity if you don’t have the available time to complete. The slideshows have been designed to be a low stress, and go at your classes own pace experience. A materials list is provided and most activities are designed to be cost effective, using general materials that can be gathered from your local stores.
