ASCD Express 9.10 - Engaging Curriculum: A Foundation for Positive School Culture - 1 views
-
after I had designed the major portion of the curriculum for a new unit, but before starting it with my class, I would hold a "Curriculum Lunch." I invited students to bring their lunch to my classroom, where I would present a preview of my plans for the next project. I shared the standards and learning objectives as well as the projects I was preparing for the students to work on, then asked for their input and feedback.

mostly gave feedback on how to make them more interesting; engaging; and, in some cases, challenging.

Students who attended the curriculum lunches would often hype up the project to their classmates, which in turn helped create positive morale going into a unit. Students were excited about the next thing they were going to learn!
