• Creating Instructional Objectives. After reading
  Chapter 3, respond to the following questions
  What is the purpose of backward planning or
  backward design (Wiggins McTighe, 2005)? How
  does backward design relate to the KUD format
  discussed in your text?? How would you evaluate
  this approach to curriculum? How does it affect
  student learning? Refer to Chapter 3 of your
  text, additional resources and your own
  insights/experiences. Respond to at least two
  classmates postings.

• EDU 381 Week 2 DQ 1 The Concept Attainment Model
• For more classes visit
• www.snaptutorial.com
• The Concept Attainment Model. Estes, Mintz, and
  Gunter state, The concept attainment model is
  flexible and can be adapted in a variety of ways
  and with a variety of materials (Estes et al,
  2011). View the video Guided Discovery of
  Dictionaries (http//www.youtube.com/watch?).
  Then reflect on what you have observed in the
  video and respond to the following questions
• Concept attainment lessons take time and
  imagination to plan. Is it worth using our
  limited time to teach with this model?
• What are the benefits of using this approach?

• EDU 381 Week 2 DQ 2 Comparing Instructional
  Methods
• For more classes visit
• www.snaptutorial.com
• Comparing Instructional Models. Estes, Mintz, and
  Gunter state, The constructivist theory of
  learning is congruent with both concept
  attainment and concept development (Estes et al,
  2011). How would you distinguish the concept
  attainment model from the concept development
  model? How are the two approaches similar and how
  are they different? In which units of study might
  these models be best utilized and why? Give
  specific examples of when each model might be
  used successfully in classroom instruction.

• Matching Objectives to Instruction. Select an
  academic standard for a content area that you
  will be teaching that is compatible with the
  direct instruction model. In a one-to-two page
  paper, using the KUD format, write one students
  will understand objective, at least two
  students will know objectives, and at least two
  students will be able to do objectives to match
  the standard you have chosen. List at least two
  activities that could be used in a direct
  instruction lesson plan to support these
  objectives. Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 of your
  text, additional resources and your own
  insights/experiences to complete this assignment.

• The Quest for Knowledge. One of the
  problem-centered inquiry models discussed in your
  text is the WebQuest model of inquiry. First,
  explore WebQuest.org (www.webquest.org). You will
  find a variety of sample WebQuests to view.
  Examine several samples and select one that you
  might find useful in your own classroom. Then
  identify the model of instruction used in your
  selected WebQuest. How is it different from
  and/or similar to the other two models described
  in Chapter 7 in your text? Discuss how the
  WebQuest model you selected meets the needs of a
  diverse group of learners. How are standards,
  assessment and evaluation addressed? Discuss your
  impressions and feelings about this model of
  instruction. Refer to Chapter 7 of your text,
  additional resources and your own
  insights/experiences.

• Socrates and Strategies. According to your text,
  the idea of a Socratic seminar stems from one of
  the dialogues of Plato in which Socrates suggests
  that no idea can be taught directly and all that
  we know must be extracted from us through a
  series of questions and a process of inquiry.
  This is the foundation of the Socratic seminar
  (Estes et al, 2011). View the video Intro to the
  Socratic Seminar (http//www.youtube.com/watch?)
  . Then reflect on what you have observed in the
  video and what you have read in your text.
  Briefly describe the Socratic seminar model. Then
  respond to the following questions
• What role does questioning play in this model?
• This model is designed to encourage multiple
  answers to open-ended questions
