The Life Cycle of a Frog, Curriculum Discussion help

An
effective educator understands the distinction between curriculum and
instruction, as they are not synonymous. Curriculum is what we teach
(the planning) and instruction is how we teach (the implementation).
Differentiation begins with a quality curriculum.

After
reading Chapter 3, identify the five characteristics of a quality
curriculum and explain in your own words why these elements are
considered important. How do they support student learning?

An
important feature of any quality curriculum is that the content is
meaningful to students and relatable to authentic personal experiences.

Choose ONEof the three unit topics:

1. The Life Cycle of a Frog
2. Two Dimensional Shapes
3. The Civil War

Then answer the following questions about your selected topic:

• How could you relate the unit topic you selected to the real world?
• What meaningful question could you ask your students as you
  begin your unit to engage and motivate students to want to learn more
  about the topic?
• Create a brief learning activity where students are creators of
  knowledge based on the topic you selected as opposed to the consumers of
  knowledge. This would involve the students making discoveries of their
  own with regards to the content. How does this activity engage students
  in developing problem solving skills and help them to make meaning of
  what they are trying to learn? Consider how it extends understandings,
  builds neural networks, and creates different pathways to common goals.

Be sure to support your response with evidence from the text.
