Choose a curriculum guide to read and critique in a 3-4 page paper. To ensure active reading and questioning, highlight sections that speak to you and/or confuse you. Take notes in the margins. Your paper (APA format) should include:

• a brief summary of the curriculum guide (1 paragraph)
• identification of instructional approaches (about 1 page)
• analysis of learning goals (about 1 page)
• explanation of whether you think the curriculum is effective or not (at least 1 page)
• use at least 4 articles from this class’ readings to reference in your paper and support your arguments.

You don’t have to like and/or agree with the style or methods of this curriculum! Don’t be afraid to be critical of what you are reading by explaining what you think works, what needs revising, and what may be missing.
