Reflection on my UbD Lesson

Creating this lesson took longer than I thought. However, I think it's all a matter of what one gets used to, so I had to switch gears to fill in the UbD template as opposed to how my district requires us to format our lessons.

The biggest difficulty I had was figuring out the overarching and topical questions. My district has us list essential questions, so it wasn't a completely new concept, but now it had to be categorized into overarching and topical. On the other hand, listing the misconceptions was new for me and a definite challenge.

As far as whether I liked the format - my answer would have to be yes, with one exception. I was confused as to why we would list one specific task under the "Performance Task Description" and our other assignments would go under "Other Evidence". That part leaves me a bit puzzled.
