Establishing personal learning goals

Tim did not follow the typical Chinese pedagogical sequence, which is to discuss the common theme of the articles when the unit is completed. Instead, students were informed of the theme at the very beginning, and understanding of the theme was deepened through the various knowledge building activities that followed. Then, Tim explained the teaching goals of the module and allowed studens to establish their own learning goals and their plan on how to achieve those goals.
