Tomorrow I will begin posting on ideas for unit openers.

Everyone is welcome to read but I hope that you will also post your own thoughts, ideas, and comments and add to a stored collection of knowledge which we can refer back to.

Although I work in a school which uses Open Court Reading and my entires will be based around that series, I hope that teachers of other programs might also take this opportunity to reflect on best practices for opening up units. Leave a comment with a link to your blog and we can check out your thoughts.
