Discussion 1
You discussion is very comprehensive and you have answered every question required. You have fully expounded on most of the statements that you have made, for example the part on the pros and cons of the understanding by design method. I have one major question about your essay. How the stated cons that you have stated be mitigated, that is, how can you reduce the time taken you develop a lesson plan using this design?
Discussion 2
I like that you commenced your essay by giving a definition of the “understanding by design” method. This has enabled the rest of the content to be very understandable. In addition, you brilliantly articulated how the method can be incorporated into the K-26 curriculum but one of the questions I have is; what are the exact outcomes of implementation the understanding by design method into the curriculum and what are the potential challenges?

Discussion 4
I like how you have structured your discussion. One commendable thing about your discussion is that for every statement made, you have taken time to expound fully on it. Your grammar is impeccable, and this is almost a perfect discussion. Another element I like about your discussions is that it is not in any way redundant, and you get straight to the point. You have talked about the resistance of change among student when proposal are made to introduce this program, and my question is; how can this resistance be mitigated?
