  4. The Big Ideas “Surprisingly enough, big ideas are typically not found even in textbook guides or as part of state and local standards and benchmarks. Big ideas are more generative or transformative than other aspects of a topic, and they provide the basis for worthwhile lessons and learning activities.” Janet Alleman, Barbara Knighton, and JereBrophy, p25.

  5. What’s the Big Idea? Steps in Developing the Big Idea • Use your own experiences and behavior as an example. • Include books, photos, or other instructional resources to provide examples. • Make personal connections to your students’ lives or experiences. • Make connections to the big idea and to previous lessons. Janet Alleman, Barbara Knighton, and JereBrophy
