I am immersed in the Wiggins and McTighe reading for CI 5481 at the moment (nestled into my spot at Nina's on Grand sipping a warm caramel latte), so I should probably wait to delve into my CI 5461 blog...
That said, I think UbD and backward design is crucial in teaching writing and will be a good partner for our CI 5461 class!
Just thinking about enduring understandings surrounding writing as opposed to facts or trite memorization is very helpful.
I think back to my 12 years of 5 paragraph essay being drilled into my skull. Through the years it became evident that the 5 paragraph essay really could be turned into anything as long as you grasp the Intro/Body/Conclusion aspect, etc.
Anyway, happy blogging!
