Elements in the Family of Lessons #246

Closed smiths closed 3 years ago

I found some good sources on-line that have distilled the elements that typically appear in a textbook chapter. They don't present this information as a commonality analysis of the family of textbooks, but it works nicely if you view their results from that perspective.

Pages 2 and 3 of this document summarize the family of textbook chapters:

I think we could use this list to categorize the knowledge in the textbook lesson for projectile. This should help us build a general approach that we can use for other lessons. This could also give us a language that we can use when comparing the projectile lesson to the SRS.

You can close this issue once you have a look over the link above. I should also add Ting-Yu to this repo so that she can have a look.

This is indeed very valuable information. Good find!
