Hey Fran, My school hires this fabulous consultant from California. She helps us write units in writing and reading around the Common Core. Just like you do, she has show us how to plan backward. We start with the big idea, then move to essential questions, then plot teach points. The teach points are our I can statements for that skill. I really like this approach and it has my kids thinking more critically. It think its the precise methods of planning. Happy Fall, Lizzie
