A little about me..
My name is Christie Nelson. I was born and raised in Seattle (excuse the Seahawks fanfare), but I reside in Coppell.
This is my 13th year teaching and my 2nd year at Coppell High School. I am looking forward to a great year C116.
Learning Design
Learning is centered around six themes that are looped through years one through three. The themes are: Personal and Public Identities,
Families and Communities, Contemporary Life, Beauty and Aesthetics, Science and Technology, and Global Challenges. Each unit is designed using the Understanding by Design approach in which we plan with the end goals in mind.
All units will contain interpretive (listening and reading), interpersonal (two way communication) and presentational (writing and speaking) activities and assessments. The framework of study will be based on the new Texas TEKS for Languages Other than English, which is best understood via the "I Can Statements" linked above.
