I definitely got a better understanding of the differences between topics, themes, concepts, and big ideas from reading Chapter 4 in Shell & Fisher's book. I remember a little bit about the Big Idea concept from taking the National Boards. I use themes in my classroom where I can incorporate them into all of the subjects and centers.
We will be able to use big ideas in order to know what we want I end result to be. We have to have an idea of the finished product in order to assign task. We have already picked our topic and a theme that we want to follow and will be using different concepts to follow that theme. It was interesting to read about all of Ben Franklin's Big Ideas. It helped me have a clearer understanding of the differences in the concepts.
