UbD and DI Chapter 9

Chapter nine served as a summary of the backwards design model, and understanding by design. It offers some examples of a unit and a performance task, this was helpful since it put in context what all this work has been for and I hope that my units and lessons can look like this. The chapter then goes on to discuss how we go about applying the knowledge we have taken in. A classroom that follows this model will be one that is engaging where all students learn. The chapter leaves us with the idea that being able to apply the information in this book won't be easy and we cannot expect to be experts right away. What makes a good teacher great is being able to adapt to the conditions presented to them. It left a little more excited about actually becoming a teacher.
