Zombie Plan Wrap-Up Reflection Assessment
What Is Your Battle Plan?
Battling zombies is not an easy task. It is one that requires understanding the standards, planning for battle, selecting the proper strategies, activities, and materials, assessing your progress, and reflecting on your progress and the possibilities for improvement of both the plans and the students.
This PLM provided you with a few strategies to begin your plan of attack. After completing the different sections of this PLM, what are your thoughts? How are they different from where you started this journey?
Mind frame three discussed the need for teachers to talk and collaborate about their classrooms. Battling zombies is not a fight that teachers have to do in isolation.
