The artifact that I chose to reflect goal #4 (Design unit and lesson plans that combine curricular competencies and content in creative, thoughtful and engaging ways ) is from a unit I created in my EDCI 414 course. In this unit, I was able to explore the big idea of ‘Local actions have global consequences, and global actions have local consequences‘ from the grade 2 social studies curriculum. The concept of the unit was ‘Little changes have a big impact’ and environmental topics such as waste management, water conservation, transportation and more were involved. I have chosen the artifact from an activity I created for a lesson on waste managements where the topics of garbage, recycling and compost are discussed.
