Reflection

The Unit 7 study plan has also shown that curriculum stages connect, thus stressing their

correlation according to big ideas, major questions, and instruction methods. The plan

encompasses “WHERETO” framework involving clean goals of gaining knowledge, varied

approaches to assessments, and technologies for organizational purpose. In this mission, multiple

modalities in addition to real-life experiences are incorporated so that it will domesticate

knowledge mastery in addition to critical thinking and also metacognition. This is important

because it equips college students with curiosity and purpose for their studies.

Something for you to think about:

Is it possible that mirrored images guide teachers as the plan develops, leading to changing

learning experiences for students throughout the process?
