Curriculum Design very informative of three areas of Conceptual, Procedural, and Factual. Also, steps on how to create an essential question.
Dawn – BOLING ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoyed it because I struggle with higher order thinking questions so to me this was helpful because I used to incorporate essential questions into my lesson plans and I never knew how or what to put for those types of questions. I feel like I understand better how to make questions and different types of questions.
