Mealey and Tudisco reunite with Kevin Adams and Gerardo Muñoz of Too Dope Teachers and a Mic.  We decided to play a little game:  we picked a common core standard at random, then had to design a unit around it!  Here's the standard, and along the way, we discuss the Twilight movies, have real talk about the nature of planning in education, and learn the Kev knows a lot about science...  Come back next week to hear Part 2 of our conversation.
