Continue conferences Final unit concept map
Start conferences (our version of grade
justification but we have 5-7 minutes Finish conferences
one-on-one conversations with students)
Describe in a sentence or two the overall goal of the unit. Describe the focus of this week’s lessons.
Think-write-pair-share:
- Think: What are some advantages and
disadvantages of using wind energy? Reference: Wind Research and Development |
- Write: generate a t-chart to create an Department of Energy
extensive list of how wind energy
may be advantageous or Save questions and comments for next time
disadvantageous we meet!
- Pros: renewable -> energy from
natural sources that do not deplete
on human timescale. Does not
impose as much risk as nuclear/Safer.
- Cons: require land and materials,
maintenance, where to build, storage.
- Pair: share out list with table partner
- Share: come to an extensive list as a
class for things to consider as we
design windmills.
