    the process.
    The best advice that I can offer is always do your work and go to class. If you are extremely frustrated and don't know what to do, just do something. Always embrace
    revision. Josh will tell you this over and over. Do not be afraid to have your work critiqued, it is the best way to learn. Try not to get extremely frustrated when
    you are thinking about a step for several hours. Hang in there and it will all be worth it in the end. I hope that you get as much out of this class as I have and use this
    in your everyday teaching. Work hard and your outcome will be a masterpiece lesson that can be shared with your class.
    Best of Luck,
    Jenny Salgado

    Final Exam
    Dear Fall 2011 Student,
    Welcome to Josh's class. First off I want to tell you do not worry if you are going to get an A or not but worry about what you are going to learn from this class.
    Josh repeats himself over and over on some things but it all makes sense in the end.

    Prior to my 2285 experience, my understanding of curriculum development was very boring and not thought out.
    In my process (Steps 1-5, and in-class discussion/activities), I improved in my ability to revise and think about the process.
    In my process, I realized the following about myself as a learner: I was nervous at first to share my work but then I realized my peers were there to improve my work.

    NM history subject given by teacher, share with class.
    5. Final discussion
    Jenny, Great job! I like how you did extend the lesson to 9 weeks to incorporate the language art standards. It's a great idea for an elementary class. I can see how the students would be engaged with the lesson because it's applied to real world experiences that would interest them. I've enjoy getting new ideas by viewing your progress. Thanks!
