I'm beginning to see where this is headed

Since our meeting with Madlyn and Heather last week, we've been working retroactively on something we were apparently supposed to have done already - a hierarchy of instructional goals and objectives. I volunteered to head this up, since I'd done a too-detailed hierarchy already for a previous assignment. I broke down our learning goal -- students learning to classify -- into four objectives, based on the comments my team members have made on our many google docs. Then I broke those objectives down again and again, creating a hierarchy. It turned out much more detailed than I expected, which is probably good. I published it for comments from our team, and also gave it to Heather and Madlyn. I received positive feedback from both of them, along with one minor correction, and submitted it to Dr. Zheng yesterday (Oct. 28)

Also yesterday, Dr. Zheng gave us class time to work with our groups. I really appreciate this time, as it is sometimes the only times we talk face-to-face! We discussed the storyboard and the changes that we need to make to it (according to what we discussed with our clients on 10/21). We also each took a part of the storyboard to "flesh out." I am beginning to see now how this is all going to come together, and it is exciting! My part is to work on the curator "activity," and I plan to start writing a preliminary script for that next week. We also heard from Heather that she has the images we need. We just need to find out a way to get over to the museum to pick them up. I'm hoping that my Monday night, one of us will have a chance to get them. I'm anxious to start brainstorming about ways 4th graders might classify these plants!
