Finding Big Ideas: It's as Easy as 1,2,3!

Who says five year olds can not find big ideas in text? This is a new lesson I created for students, (young and old alike) that helps them understand how readers extract "Big Ideas" from text. It is as easy as putting together a puzzle! Watch and find out for yourself!

Why A Blog?

Teachers need to be great learners to lead great learners. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey, an ongoing exploration and way of life. I challenge myself and others to always be striving to find and share big ideas in every million dollar conversation.
