18. Know • Facts • Vocabulary • Definitions • Dates • Places Understand • I want students to understand that… • Essential truths give meaning to topic • Purposeful • Has transfer power • Allows students to investigate content on a variety of levels • Enduring value • Requires “uncoverage” Do • Start with a verb NOT the whole activity • Thinking skills • Final outcome based on the standard, NOT an activity • Students should grapple with the “UNDERSTAND” goals and how they apply to the “KNOW” goals What is the Difference Between Know, Understand, and Do? 1a, 1c, 1e, 1f
