- 14. UBD REVIEW What does addressing Essential Questions and Enduring Understandings “look like” in the MCL classroom?
- 15. Enduring Understandings • EUs focus on what we want students to “understand and be able to use several years from now, after they have forgotten the details” (Wiggins & McTighe p. 342) • NOTE!!! A unit can have overarching and topical EUs and EQs
- 16. Enduring Understanding, Yes or No? • “The ability to express one’s feelings increases one’s feeling of self worth and the value of his/her opinion.” “Strong and positive relationships and friendships require work.” • An important part of communication is to connect on a personal level through describing one's family and how one lives.
- 17. Enduring Understanding-Yes or No? • Shopping is a cultural experience. For example-- waiting in line, entering a shop, where an individual shops—all reflect culture. • Negotiating is an important part of shopping in many parts of the world.
- 18. Essential Questions • Promotes inquiry and uncoverage. There is not one correct answer to an EQ. • Naturally arises in everyday life, and/or “doing” the subject • Can be re-asked over time, and as a result of further learning
- 19. Essential Questions—Yes or No? • What do I need to know in order to describe what happened? • How do I describe what things were like? How do I talk about what I used to do? • How do I explain why I could not do something? • How do I report what someone said? • Why is it important to talk about the past?
- 20. Essential Question --Yes or No? • Why does a person feel it necessary to express his/her opinions, disagreement and complaints? • Why do people seek out suggestions from others and why do people want to share their suggestions?
- 21. Essential Question—Yes or No? • How are legends in the target culture different than those of the United States? • What are the main themes and morals of the readings? • What do the readings explain about the target culture? • What skill do I need to know in order to read in another language?
- 22. Essential Questions-Yes or No? • Where do the people who speak this language live? • Why do we think they settled there? • What are the main geographic features of the country? • What historical and economic consequences are due to the geography of this country? • Why do the people live where they do? What can we learn about the target culture from its geography? • Has the geography influenced the language?
- 23. Today’s Goal: • In response to the new teacher evaluation model, how do I connect what is happening in the classroom with Essential Questions and Enduring Understandings on the OCG?
- 24. Key Vocabulary • Vocabulary for each unit only includes the key vocabulary that students will acquire as a result of the unit and not an exhaustive list of every word they will learn.
- 25. Knowledge and Skills • Knowledge and Skills of each only includes the key knowledge and skills that students will acquire as a result of the unit and not an exhaustive list of everything that they will learn or do.
- 26. ACTFL Performance Standards • Time permitting….. • 10:00-11:30 • You will be working with a group on Stage 1 of an upcoming unit/units. Go to the OCG. One teacher in your group will have an OCG log-in. As a group, add or edit EUs and EQs for that unit. If time permits, add knowledge, skills and key vocabulary.
- 27. Today’s Work • Today, we will group by “practice” PLCs. • Middle School Teachers: Spanish A, Spanish B, French/German • High School Latin Teachers • High School German Teachers • Spanish 1 • Spanish 2 • Spanish 3

Time permitting, create some learning activities to add to the list. Add strategies to Stage 3 of the unit on the OCG.
- 29. 2:00-2:30 • Post-test: Poll everywhere • Think about the responses this morning - what are our responses now? • Sit with your colleagues from your building: Share edits on OCG • Exit slips about today’s development: • One nagging question • One new learning
