Module 2 Activity 6

Module 2 Activity 6: The Curriculum-Framing Questions provide a continuum of narrowing the focus for the unit question so you know exact information that will be measured while allowing for the essential question to be broad enough to include different subjects. In sped we have goals which have to be measured, yet these goals are just one small part of learning.
