Bricks serve as a way to plan out the future of certain tools. In my own capacity as a teacher right now, it is hard to plan months or years into the future because of the high turnover with my students, however I see bricks as a great tool to plan my own resources. I would use a much shorter timeline, closer to a school year format, but I always have a running list of tools I’d like to try.
Usually the tools need a little scaffolding, which can be plotted out by using the brick. What is the baseline skill set of my students? What can they use after a few lessons? A few units?
Bricks provide a really clear format for planning ahead on any timeline, and a way to recycle old techniques and keep things fresh.
