# Activity 9: Identifying Big Ideas in subject teaching

# Activity

Look at the list on the previous page. In your subject group, discuss how you could create a similar kind of list. What “Big Ideas” do you think there are in the subject you and your colleagues teach? Write out the list. Do you think the syllabuses you are teaching, and the textbooks you are using, fully reflect the Big Ideas you have identified?

If you are in a Science department, look again at the list on previous page. Are there any changes you would make to this list? Do you think the syllabuses you are teaching, and the textbooks you are using, fully reflect the Big Ideas identified for Science?

# Self-Reflection

Self-reflection is important because it's a process that makes you collect, record, and analyze everything that happened in the lesson so you can make improvements in your teaching strategies where necessary. Share your self-reflection upon completion of Activity 9.
