1. Did you try out an idea for your main unit or for a different project idea?

//**I did both.**// over achiever JF

2. Considering your test results, do you think you will keep this tool in your Unit Plan?

//**Yes,** **but I am changing the complex issue to deal with the advantages/ disadvantages to living in a small town. The causal relationship will be "Do the advantages to living in a small town outweigh the disadvantages?"**// (CE)So the advantages of belonging to a social group is out? :)

That is a debate that we used growing up here and as adults working here, so what a great way to really analyze why they would or would not choose to live in a small town like Fulton! I'm not sure how you would use this as a Seeing Reason lesson. I know it looks really hard, but you might consider using the Showing Evidence tool.

3. How do you see the use of the Seeing Reason Tool fitting in with the objectives and standards you are trying to target as well as your overall plan for your unit? How will the use of this tool help students meet the requirements?

//**This will target the objectives outlined in this Rigby Lesson and will also target SS and CA standards**//. //**Students will meet the requirements by finding and explaining cause-effect relationships between a self made list of descriptors following research and class brainstorming.**//

4. How do you see the Seeing Reason Tool enhancing your students' higher-order thinking skills as well as collaboration and communication in your classroom?

//**Pairs will collaborate and communicate regarding the factors and their relationships.**//

5. What questions do you still have about this project's design, implementation, or assessment?
