Backward Design Materials

Teachers: below are the materials supplied to us for Backward Design. If you click on one of the Word documents, the document will be downloaded to your computer. If it doesn't open in Word, open Word yourself and then open the document (FIILE > Open). If you are not sure which document you want, look at the HTML version first. You cannot type into the HTML version. You have to download the Word version if you want to be able to type into the document.
