Rappahannock Oyster Bar

That’s a little bit tougher with oysters, but you'll still predominantly see West Coast varieties on the menu. These come with a really pepper-lime mignonette and go great with their long list of natural wines. This place is bright and airy, and remains shockingly tourist-free for how close it is to the beach (if you’re sitting in the right seat, you can see the water). Sometimes we want cold, plump, alarmingly fresh, briny-sweet oysters and nothing else. We're looking for restaurants and bars with a legitimate selection of oysters (ideally, the server should tell you where they’re from), a cold beverage, and a setting where you can order a dozen or more for yourself and no one will bat an eye. The commercial fishing fleet at The Lobster House dock offloads and ships millions of pounds of seafood annually and supplies much of the fresh seafood served here.

Broad Street Oyster Co.

From the outside, Connie & Ted’s looks like a futuristic restaurant set amid Boystown. Owned and operated by the Dougherty family since 1897, Dock's Oyster House is an Atlantic City institution. Offering a full raw bar with as many as 10 different oysters per night, Dock's is renowned for the freshest seafood in town along with great steaks and an award-winning wine list.

Exposed wood and concrete interiors of ROW DTLA’s historicproduce terminal is the ideal setting for Rappahannock Oyster Bar’s first WestCoast location. Nestled in LA’s Warehouse District, just blocks from the ArtsDistrict and Little Tokyo, ROW DTLA offers a West Coast spin on our East Coastheritage. With an emphasis on sustainability, locally sourced, ethicallyfished, and responsibly farmed ingredients, the menu draws inspiration from thepeople of L.A. And the bounty of fresh produce, fish, and meat sourced inSouthern California. Grab a stool at the Carrara marble oystercounter and bar, and take a glimpse into the open kitchen, where you'll findyour food being prepared fast and fresh right before your eyes.

Broad Street Oyster Company is a fantastic seafood shack in Malibu that’s filled with so many oysters, mussels, shrimp, and uni you’ll wonder if their “local source” is actually the Aquarium of the Pacific. Here, the sunny Malibu coast glistens, the salty sea air kisses your skin in a way that feels like it’s hitting on you, and Broad Street will hook you up with a world-class selection of fresh oysters served over crushed ice. This oyster bar in Long Beach has a little something for everyone. From platters of sweet and briny mollusks on ice and a fried oyster caesar salad to a mountain of fries covered in creamy seafood chowder, Liv’s in Belmont Shore isn’t afraid to let shellfish be the star. The sidewalk patio has so many string lights, you’ll feel like you’re eating under an old theater marquee. But if you’d rather sit inside, there's a long wooden bar where you can bring a date.

And so he opened Dock's Oyster House, with 60 seats, no liquor license and very high standards. Dock's quickly became a favorite of locals and tourists alike, with lines often forming out the door on Atlantic Avenue (and at the back door for those in the know). Set amid the crowds and the urban commotion of Grand Central Market, The Oyster Gourmet is an unusual-looking, vaguely steampunk-y small wooden stand designed to look like a giant open oyster shell.

Any place that sells marked-up bottles and bowls of olives can call itself a wine bar. Harry's vision has been carried on by four generations of Dougherty's who share his commitment to quality and service. That commitment sustained Dock's through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the decline and rebirth of Atlantic City (a few times), and in 1997, the entire community celebrated the centennial anniversary of Dock's Oyster House. The film will screen again in the Dances With Films festival at the Chinese Theatre, which runs May 30 through June 9.

One of the most unique features of The Lobster House is the 130 foot-long authentic Grand Banks sailing vessel, the Schooner American which is moored dockside. The Schooner is an outdoor cocktail lounge offering a full bar, luncheon menu and Lobster House specialty appetizers during the evening. A destination in itself, the Schooner has an unrivaled waterfront ambiance and is the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail before dinner while watching yachts pass by. Not many people know this, but the oysters at Mariscos Jalisco are incredible. Of course, no visit is complete without their signature tacos or ceviches, but next time you’re here, add an oyster or two to whatever you order. They sell them for a dollar or two a pop, but our favorite way to enjoy them is just ordering the campechana—a rich, tomato-based cocktail packed with an ocean’s-worth of shrimp, abalone, baby octopus, and one raw oyster floating on top.

Save Time by Finding your Next Dock at Dock Realty

Dock's menu features a wide variety of the highest quality, freshest fish and shellfish expertly prepared to showcase the seafood's natural flavors. The seafood-centric menu is rounded out with house made soups, sides and salads featuring local produce, and meats that will rival any steakhouse. Of course, you don't survive in Atlantic City for 125 years without keeping up with the times, including some major renovations every few decades or so. In 1945, the second generation of Dougherty's enlarged the restaurant to 80 seats.

And as you might expect, they’ve really only got three things on the menu besides wine, and the one most worth your time is the plate of oysters. The selection constantly changes, and the shuckers are super knowledgeable–so even if you don’t know the difference between a Blue Point and a Wellfleet, they’re always happy to help you figure out what you’ll like. As the name might imply, this spot on the Redondo Pier takes seafood very seriously. It’s basically a fish market with a huge, multi-level dining room, and when you want to order oysters, you grab a sheet of paper, mark what you want, and hand it over for them to shuck. They source their oysters from all over the globe, including both coasts of the US, New Zealand, and Scotland. If you really want to taste oysters from around the world, but don’t feel like dusting off your passport, this is the best place to do it.

It’s one of the more pricey spots on here, but you’re guaranteed the highest quality of oysters from Wellfleet, Hood Island, and more. They’ve also got great cocktails (our preference with oysters is a French 75) and offer a dozen or a half-dozen oysters at a discount during Happy Hour. As one would expect, this Los Feliz seafood shop is one the best places in LA to find oysters. They’ve moved operations from their tight, disco ball-lit space and expanded into the patio on the street, where you’ll have room to enjoy their excellent Little Namskaket oysters and bask in the glow of the neighboring Scientology building. Many come from their enigmatic general manager’s family farm in Maine, and are sweet, salty bites that taste so clean, you’d think the kitchen installed a pipeline to the ocean. Dudley Market catches most of the seafood they serve at their Venice restaurant on the team's very own fishing boat.

During most months, casual dockside dining is an incomparable way to enjoy both the food and extraordinary waterfront view. Watch the commercial fleet at work while enjoying freshly cooked seafood from the Take-Out, which is available to be eaten dockside or taken home, or from The Raw Bar which has both an indoor bar & dining room and its own individual menu. An awesome Manhattan Beach seafood spot the size of a studio apartment, Fishing With Dynamite is the best place to go in the South Bay for oysters and a beer. They’ve got a great selection, from a few different Cape Cod varieties to ones from Baja and Morro Bay. The raw scallops with grapefruit are also highly worth your time, if you’re in need of even more things served on the half shell. In 1897, Harry "call me Dock" Dougherty believed there was a great opportunity in Atlantic City to open a restaurant that would serve the finest seafood available in a clean, comfortable and friendly atmosphere.

If you can, stop by on a Monday night to take advantage of Liv’s half-off oyster deal. A lot of places that call themselves “oyster bars” are anything but. They have an actual oyster bar upstairs, and they’re shucking a wide variety of excellent oysters from both coasts.

And children who reach their sixth birthday by December 31 are enrolled in first grade the following August, whereas younger children are not. Given assessment of the outcome following the intervention, comparison of the outcomes at the threshold for the intervention and in control groups permits strong causal inferences to be drawn. It first reviews selected designs (regression discontinuity designs, interrupted time series analysis, observational studies, pre-/posttest designs, and economic cost analysis) commonly used as alternatives to randomized experiments.

Inadequate Literature Study

In this section, some commonly utilized quasi-experimental designs from Reichardt’s framework are described. First, two designs involving nonrandom, quantitative assignment rules—the regression discontinuity design and the interrupted time series design—are discussed. Next, the observational study (also known as the nonequivalent control group design or nonequivalent recipients design), in which the basis for assignment is unknown, is considered. Finally, the pre-experimental pre–post design, commonly utilized by decision makers, is discussed.

Exploratory and Confirmatory Research

They are typically used when resources are limited, or when the research question does not require a high degree of control or precision. Key characteristics of these designs include the use of a single group, the lack of a control group, and the absence of random assignment. The reason being testing a hypothesis or dissolving a problem can be quite a difficult task, let’s say close to impossible. This being said, researchers find it challenging to generalize the results they got from the pre-experimental design, over the actual experiment.

Pre-experimental Design: Definition, Types & Examples

The knowledge of the specific letters chosen for inclusion in the program could be compared with the knowledge of the control letters to assess the program’s effectiveness. Once again, each of these types of units could potentially be assigned to treatment conditions using any of the three assignment rules. Unfortunately, the design only uses for post-tests, so it is not possible to know if the groups were comparable before the stimulus or intervention.

For example, Stratmann and Wille (2016) [2] were interested in the effects of a state healthcare policy called Certificate of Need on the quality of hospitals. In this research design, an independent variable is manipulated, but the participants of a group are not randomly assigned. This type of research design is used in field settings where random assignment is either irrelevant or not required. In this arrangement, subjects are presented with some type of treatment, such as a semester of college work experience, and then the outcome measure is applied, such as college grades. Like all experimental designs, the goal is to determine if the treatment had any effect on the outcome. Without a comparison group, it is impossible to determine if the outcome scores are any higher than they would have been without the treatment.

The One-Shot Case Study.

In addition, there are online resources that allow researchers to preregister their experimental protocols, such as preclinical. Reynolds and West (1987) matched treatment and control stores on sales in the prior game and on ZIP code (a proxy for neighborhood socioeconomic status). As shown in Figure E-2, they implemented the basic observational study design and then added several design features to address possible threats to the certainty of the causal relationship (internal validity). Panel (b) displays the results from a set of nonequivalent dependent measures, sales categories that would be expected to be affected by other general factors that affect sales but not by the intervention. The increase in sales of lottery tickets was greater than the increase for other sales categories. Panel (c) displays the results from a short time series of observations in which the sales campaign was implemented in the treatment stores in week 4 of the game.

Types of Pre-experimental Designs

Early work on the RD design in the behavioral sciences typically assumed that a regression equation representing a linear effect of the assignment score on the outcome plus a treatment effect estimated at the cutoff would be sufficient to characterize the relationship. More recent work in econometrics has emphasized the use of alternative methods to characterize the relationship between the assignment variable and the outcome separately above and below the threshold level. For example, with large sample sizes, nonparametric regression models can be fit separately above and below the threshold to minimize any possibility that the functional form of the relationship is not properly specified. Second, in some RD designs, the quantitative assignment variable does not fully determine treatment assignment. Econometricians make a distinction between “sharp” RD designs, in which the quantitative assignment variable fully determines treatment assignment, and “fuzzy” RD designs, in which a more complex treatment selection model determines assignment. These latter designs introduce considerably more complexity, but new statistical modeling techniques based on the potential outcomes perspective (see Hahn et al., 2001) minimize any bias in the estimate of treatment effects.

In contrast, descriptive research describes a study or a topic by defining the variables under it and answering the questions related to the same. Since school days’ students perform scientific experiments that provide results that define and prove the laws and theorems in science. In a pre-experiment either a single group or multiple groups are observed subsequent to some agent or treatment presumed to cause change. Finally, the use of pooling in weighing and supplementing evidence becomes an important negotiating process among organizations cooperating in community-level and other broad collaborative programs and policies. Each participant in such collaborations will weigh different types of evidence differently, and each will have an idiosyncratic view of its own experience and what it says about the problem and the proposed solutions (Best et al., 2003). This recognition of complexities in the evidence and multiplicities of experience has led to a growing interest in systems theory or systems thinking (Green, 2006) (see Chapter 4).

And, without any pre-test scores, it is impossible to determine if any change within the group itself has taken place. However, it is worth pointing out that the notion that experimental biases could significantly impact on in vivo animal studies is often assumed because they are believed to be important in clinical research. Therefore, such an assumption may be flawed, as the body of evidence showing the importance of bias-reducing methods such as randomisation, blinding, etc. for animal studies is still limited and most of the evidence is indirect. Furthermore, there may also be sources of bias which impact on preclinical studies which are currently unknown. Thus, systematic review and metaanalysis of in vivo studies have shown that papers that do not report bias-reducing methods report larger effect sizes (Vesterinen et al. 2010). However, these studies are based on reported data alone, and therefore there might be a difference between what researchers do and what they report in their publications (Reichlin et al. 2016).

Experimental research is conducted to analyze and understand the effect of a program or a treatment. There are three types of experimental research designs – pre-experimental designs, true experimental designs, and quasi-experimental designs. The incidence-based approach (also referred to as a “lifetime cost” or “longitudinal” approach) aims to estimate the additional costs expected to result from a given condition in a specific population over their lifetimes. When applied to health care costs resulting from obesity, this approach balances the additional health care costs an obese individual faces at a point in time against the health care cost savings that accrue as a result of the shorter lifetime of an obese individual.

For each design, Campbell’s and Rubin’s perspectives (detailed in Chapter 8) are brought into the discussion as the basis for suggestions for enhancements that may lead to stronger causal inferences. Matching is another approach in quasi-experimental design to assigning experimental and comparison groups. Preclinical studies using animals to study the potential of a therapeutic drug or strategy are important steps before translation to clinical trials. However, evidence has shown that poor quality in the design and conduct of these studies has not only impeded clinical translation but also led to significant waste of valuable research resources.

As a result, they forced local enslaved people to provide the labor, often renting workers from their masters for year-long periods of time. The anthology also addresses head-on the fact that Hoban was a slave owner. While Hoban is credited with the project, enslaved people played a role in the construction of the iconic structure, with all carpentry, stonemasonry, and brickwork under Hoban’s supervision. The design of the residence was engineered by James Hoban in Neoclassical taste which is greatly attributed to Palladio (the architectural style of the White House is sometimes referred to as Palladian). The colonnades on the wings were added by President Thomas Jefferson after he moved into the house in 1801. The West Wing was built in 1901, while the Oval Office was created in 1909.

American Revolution – Commemorating the Fallen of the Battle of Camden, 1780

During the 200th anniversary of construction in 1992, x-ray machines were brought in to image the stone walls with short waves, but found nothing. Scottish stonemasons whitewashed the building in 1798 to protect the stone, leading to its being called the White House. Washington requested alterations to the original design, adding the distinctive rose and acorn carved stone embellishments and cutting the building’s height. Hoban’s original design called for two stories over a raised walkout basement, but some thought the house was too large. A guide to 10 of the very best historic sites in America's capital city, including The Capitol, Lincoln Memorial and The White House. The scale and status of the building today reflects its profile on the world stage as a landmark of presidential – and by extension, American – power.

Why the Washington Monument was once a national embarrassment

But there have been a menagerie of animals that have called the grounds home. President Woodrow Wilson welcomed a herd of sheep to the South Lawn and they donated their wool to the Red Cross to create uniforms for soldiers during the First World War. One particularly adventuresome ram named Hi caused a bit of trouble when he repeatedly broke into the Oval Office.

Crossroads of History: Ancient Jordan with Dan Snow

The White House was set on fire by the British Army in 1814, during the Burning of Washington. This incident formed part of the War of 1812, a conflict fought primarily between the US and the UK. The blaze destroyed much of the interior and charred most of the exterior. The use of Aquia Creek sandstone, painted white, served as the house’s namesake, which remained a nickname until it was formalised by President Roosevelt in 1901. His 3-story, 9-bay original submission was altered into this 2-story, 11-bay design.

White House Builder James Hoban’s Irish Roots

In 1948, after engineers discovered the building to be structurally unsound and unsafe for habitation, Harry S. Truman ordered a complete gutting of the interior and a total overhaul of the building's structure and foundation. Truman and his family lived in Blair House across the street during the renovations. When the Adamses moved in, the biggest room on the first floor, or State Floor, was the unfinished East Room, which occupied the entire east end of the building and was intended as an audience room for public events. An unfinished oval room (what is now the Blue Room) was at the center of the plan to facilitate public receptions where guests traditionally stood in a circlewaiting to greet the president.

He envisioned a vast palace for the President, a house five times the size of the house which would be built. It was planned and constructed under the personal supervision of President George Washington. While most presidential work is done in the West Wing, the traditional view of the White House that many Americans hold, with the South Portico, is of the Executive Mansion.

Meet the Man Who Designed and Built the White House

The White House has also been subjected to disaster, including two fires, one at the hands of the British in 1814 and one in the West Wing in 1929. Famous rooms in the White House include the Blue Room, where President Grover Cleveland married the youngest first lady in history and the President’s Oval Office, which replaced the Roosevelt Room, where President Roosevelt used to house a fish tank and fishing paraphernalia. Today, tours of what is undoubtedly the most iconic residence in the US are a precious commodity. Nonetheless, the visitors centre and surrounding area give a sense of the White House’s role within US history. Contrary to a popular myth that the building was painted white to hide scorch marks after the fire in 1814, the residence was first painted white in 1798 to protect the exterior from weather damage.

According to the will, George Fenwick left four city lots in the new city of Washington and significant tracts of land in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and St. Mary’s County, Maryland, to his sons. In addition, Fenwick stated that his land in Prince George’s County contained 287 acres, while his St. Mary’s County plantation consisted of 400 acres. The amount of acreage listed in this will suggests that Fenwick was involved in tobacco farming, one of the most lucrative crops in southern Maryland for the time period. The intensive nature of this crop typically required large amounts of enslaved labor to cultivate and harvest.

The idea of a president refusing to leave the White House after losing an election or an impeachment trial was unthinkable. The practice continued until 1885, when newly elected Grover Cleveland arranged for a presidential review of the troops from a grandstand in front of the White House instead of the traditional open house. President Bill Clinton briefly revived the New Year's Day open house in his first term.

The vice president has an office in the West Wing, as well as the ceremonial office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. A small East Wing was first added in 1902 as an entrance to the White House. Today’s structure was built in 1942 and sits atop the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. The two-story East Wing houses the office spaces of the first lady and her staff. Set on 18 acres of land, the White House is made up of the Executive Residence, the East Wing, and the West Wing, with its famous Oval Office.

According to the Architect of the Capitol, Reid was paid $1.25 a day by the federal government for his contributions. After months of research, the commission announced that while it would never be able to tell the full story of the enslaved laborers who built these buildings, there was no doubt that they were intricately involved in the work, Alexander Lane reported for PolitiFact. In 1792, work began on the new president’s house in Washington, DC (eventually renamed the White House), on a site selected by the first US president, George Washington.

Meant to wear off for the most part, leaving cracks and crevices filled, the whitewash was never allowed to weather, but was refreshed periodically until the structure at last was painted with white lead paint in 1818. By that time it had for more than a decade been known as "The White House." The name, though in common use, remained a nickname until October 1901, when Theodore Roosevelt made it official. James DiPasquale, Reynolds’ attorney, said Keaau Development’s last offer to Reynolds was contingent on title insurance being available.

A fire during the Hoover administration in 1929 destroyed the executive wing and led to more renovations, which continued after Franklin Roosevelt entered office. Construction of the elaborate presidential abode began in 1792 and was completed in 1800. The site was selected by President Washington who also oversaw the construction work. President John Adams was the first American President to move into the White house in 1800, but he did not occupy it for long before President Thomas Jefferson, who was elected into office in 1801, moved in. Over the years, the executive mansion has seen multiple renovations, including extensive work by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, which included the installation of electric lights.

Not until 1909 did Congress provide appropriations to pay White House servants. Architect Eric Gugler more than doubled the space of what was becoming known as the “West Wing,” added a swimming pool in the west terrace for the polio-stricken president, and moved the Oval Office to the southeast corner. A new east wing was constructed in 1942, its cloakroom transformed into a movie theater. The cornerstone was laid on October 13, 1792, and over the next eight years a construction team comprised of both enslaved and freed African Americans and European immigrants built the Aquia Creek sandstone structure.

Various proposals were put forward during the late 19th century to significantly expand the President’s House or to build an entirely new residence, but these plans were never realized. Some of the enslaved workers were owned by the city commissioners charged with overseeing the project or James Hoban, the architect. The vast majority, however, were hired out from their owners in Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland, who then pocketed the enslaved peoples’ wages. The construction crews were often shuttled back and forth between the White House and the Capitol building sites, depending on which location needed labour or had available materials at any given moment. Hostilities with Great Britain, begun in 1812, culminated in the invasion of Washington on August 24, 1814. British troops entered the defenseless city, where they ate a dinner prepared for the President at the White House, and then torched the building, destroying all but the outer walls.

Modern contemporary homes tend to be more expensive to build than traditional homes, as they often feature high-end finishes and materials, unique design elements, and advanced technology and sustainability features. However, it's essential to differentiate between "modern" and "contemporary" in the context of architecture. While "modern" refers to a specific architectural movement with defined stylistic features, "contemporary" refers to homes built in the present day, which can showcase a variety of architectural styles. In other words, all modern homes are contemporary (as they were at the time of their construction), but not all contemporary homes are modern. From Art Deco to the iconic Brady Bunch home, Modern house plans have been on the American home scene for decades and will continue offering alternative expressions for today's homeowners. Modern house plans cover many ideas, concepts, and principles available in the home design industry.

Takeaways on Modern Homes

Christine’s years of knowledge of the diverse trends and needs of the modern homeowner has made her into an authoritative and trusted voice in the online house plan community. While most people think of striking modern lines when they think of contemporary homes, there’s actually so much more out there! Don’t let your preconceived notions about what is and isn’t a contemporary plan dissuade you from checking out all the amazing designs that we have to offer. While we have plans of all styles that can address your lot’s specific challenges, modern homes are some of the best.

Features to Look for in Contemporary House Plans

We will guide you through the entire design process and the final house design is reached only when you are certain that the house is what you really wanted. One of the first things that people think about when they hear “modern” describe a house plan is simplicity. The truth is, combining simple design elements together makes for an elegant work of art, and that’s exactly what each of our contemporary house plans does. Contemporary house plans move seamlessly between the interior and exterior spaces of the home.

Use our database to filter your search exactly to your needs and what fits on your land. A contemporary home is one that reflects the latest style, which today means cutting-edge 21st-century architecture and design. The term is evolutionary, meaning "contemporary design" changes to reflect what's new and trending. Most home styles fall under older, traditional archetypes, but today's contemporary homes stand out as the next stage of modern design as well as the ever-growing transitional category. One of the more important natural features of contemporary homes is the use of natural light, whether by large windows in uncommon positions, panoramic window walls, or ample skylights.

Finally, modern house plans have plenty of sleek curb appeal, so they're perfect if you want your home to stand out on the street. Modern home designs stand in stark contrast to the highly ornamented traditional home styles of the 18th and 19th centuries. They feature clean lines with minimal, if any, decoration and put an emphasis on bright, open, and spacious interiors. Despite their focus on simplicity, modern house plans are incredibly diverse and come in all kinds of looks.

Modern house floor plans can be significant with expansive floor plans and still be considered minimalist in their design approach, or smaller homes offering more compact floor plans and bold, luxuriously appointed spaces. Not only are contemporary house designs some of the most unique options available, but they’re also extremely flexible! Sloped, narrow, and even oddly-shaped lots become a worry of the past with many of these plans. The term contemporary architecture is also applied to a range of styles of recently built structures and space which are optimized for current use. The concept of modernism is a central theme in the efforts of 20th century modern architecture.

What is a modern house plan?

We work with our designers to provide the plans that best represent modern architecture. If you can’t find the right modern house plans then you should get your own custom home design. We provide a custom home design service for those that want a distinctive house design.

So, what should you take away from this go-to guide on contemporary home design? The simple fact that these plans encompass so much more than you probably think.

From a tiny 378 square feet to a sprawling, nearly 9,000 square foot plan, with an average range of 2,200 square feet of living space. Contemporary house plans typically display an exterior without ornamentation, extensive and varied expanses of glass inserts, brick or perhaps, stonework, and miscellaneous mixed metals. One of the unique exterior features of contemporary home plans is their flat or sloped rooflines, with expansive window views producing open, airy, and grand interiors. The common characteristic of this style includes simple, clean lines with large windows devoid of decorative trim. Pay special attention to the large windows, great room, and contrasting lines, hallmarks of a contemporary house design. Also notice how those features join perfectly with the cozy open floor plan and amazing Craftsman elements.

Aluminum and steel external wall element features can appeal to those looking for an industrial or retro finish, and both are strong weather-resistant materials. In addition, solid stone walls can provide architectural interest and character to a home's façade and blend well with other design materials. Building a modern home often involves a higher investment compared to constructing a traditional home, mainly due to several factors inherent in contemporary design and construction. The “Lawless Sofa,” created by the Detroit-based designer Evan Fay, features a snaking white cushion wrapped around a steel-pipe frame. We specialize in Modern Designs, Farmhouse Plans, Rustic Lodge Style and Small Home Design. All of our plans are customizable so just let us know if you’d like to add on a garage, extra room, basement or ADU.

– House expansion with additional rooms (depending on complexity and additional square footage). Building from one of our blueprints is more cost-effective than buying a home and renovating it, which is already a huge plus. Our services are unlike any other option because we offer unique, brand-specific ideas that you can't find elsewhere.

Contrary to a popular assumption, this does not mean that the leaning goal has to be quantitatively measured by some objective instrument (like a multiple-choice test). Valid and accepted measurements will vary from discipline to discipline and include both quantitative and qualitative measures. As the course designer, you decide what kind of measurements will work best for your subject. The important thing is that there is some way to identify whether or not learning outcomes are being met.

Stage 3: Plan Learning Activities and Instructional Materials

Backward designing an online course leads you to be more intentional about your use of the online space, helping to mitigate the challenges of online learning while maximizing its affordances. You will follow the same step-by-step process above, but there are a few additional elements to consider during Steps 3-5. In no time at all, you might see improvements in the performance of your students, the quality of your classes, and the ratings of your online lessons. This is the same philosophy that follows many standardized tests in public schools around the country. Public school teachers will often “teach the test” by focusing primarily on what will be on federal or state standardized tests instead of other content or modules in textbooks. In that case, make sure that you give your students plenty of time to write notes for your lessons so they can study them and answer you promptly and accurately come test day.

Developing a backward design lesson plan step by step

Some lessons might need a slight tweak here or there and others might be best to leave out altogether. Remember, just let your learning goal and pre-planned assessment be your guide. Whatever the case may be, there is an alternative approach that helps instructors avoid these pitfalls and mitigate student frustrations with their learning experiences.

responses to “World Language Lesson Planning with Backwards Design”

In other words, they don’t see an alignment between what they learned and what they were tested on. Complete the Backwards Design Lesson Planning Template to walk through the three stages of the backwards design planning process to plan an upcoming lesson. This should be a lesson that you can implement within the next couple of weeks so that you are able to see the impact this planning process has on student performance. You may want to refer to the Backwards Design Lesson Planning Template SAMPLE as a guide.

These clearly articulated end-goals mean it is significantly easier to see where a learning activity may have derailed and then how to fix it. It also reduces my time at the podium and reminds students that their ability to understand, contextualize, explain, and apply content is the true goal of their education. As teachers, you want students to learn skills that can equate to great academic results, but that can also be applied in later life. This means that as teachers, we need to focus on content but also on its practical application.

Every task and piece of instruction has a purpose that fits in with the overarching goals and goals of the course. Students will also need support to know how to prepare for assignments, to evaluate their work, and to understand their performance. Consider how your teaching strategies and learning activities will explicitly prepare students for assignments and how you can provide tangible feedback on their progress. So far you have defined your course learning goals and outcomes and planned your assessments of student learning. In Step 4, you will choose the course content that will support students to succeed on those assessments.

Since the point of defining ILOs is to provide a design focus for your course and to clarify goals for students, specificity is very important. In your statement of your learning outcomes, it should be clear exactly what the goal is. In particular, beware of words like “understand” or “know.” Exactly what it means to “understand” or “know” something is open to interpretation. An undergraduate’s level of “understanding” of a topic and that of the instructor will vary wildly, and it will be difficult for students to know which level of understanding they should be aiming for. When developing ILOs, ask yourself how you will know that a student “understands” the material – what will they need to do, or say to demonstrate their understanding?

Once the learning goals have been established, the second stage involves consideration of assessment. The backward design framework suggests that instructors should consider these overarching learning goals and how students will be assessed prior to consideration of how to teach the content. For this reason, backward design is considered a much more intentional approach to course design than traditional methods of design. Rather than starting with decisions about course content, the backward design process begins by asking you to determine what you want students to learn. Assignments are then developed, with the aim of allowing students to practice and demonstrate that learning.

The first and most important problem is a lack of durable, transferable learning. One reason so many of us don’t remember much of what we learned in school is that we learned it through this haphazard, topic-driven approach. These random activities are taking up precious time that could be spent on much more valuable stuff. Ohio State historyLong before Wiggins and McTighe popularized backward design, Ralph Tyler was working with fellow faculty at The Ohio State University to improve data gathered from assessments. As early as his 1934 article, “Some Findings from Studies in the Field of College Biology,” Tyler details how he helped faculty sketch out the ideas of needs analysis, backward design, and setting behavioral objectives. In Understanding by Design, Wiggins and McTighe reference Tyler as the originator of behavioral objectives (2005, p. 20).

When teachers use Backward Design, they can consult Bloom's Taxonomy to identify the level of cognitive skills they wish students to attain. Whether the goal is simply to remember dates or analyze historical events, Backward Design helps educators map out a targeted learning path to achieve the desired complexity level. In other words, a superior education will teach students to think and practice like scientists.

Even if we do follow the book exactly the way it was written, we can be under the illusion that our students are actually understanding what’s going on until it’s time to complete an exit ticket. Some books may introduce the concept of a number bond and call it a “math mountain” or they may call it decomposing. Some books don’t use model drawings and have children do a quick draw (which is not as universally applicable).

Backward Design is a teaching method that involves designing educational curriculum by setting goals before choosing instructional methods and forms of assessment. This teaching model lends itself very well to proficiency-based language teaching as it requires the teacher to focus on what students will ultimately be able to do with the language, rather than simply knowing about the language. The process is logical – if teachers focus on the desired learning then the appropriate teaching methods will follow. With backwards design, teachers shift their thinking from a content-focused design to a result-focused approach. In this way, the integration of different subject matter and the use of technology becomes organic in the design of the unit.

The first question listed above has instructors consider the knowledge that is worth being familiar with which is the largest circle, meaning it entails the most information. The second question above allows the instructor to focus on more important knowledge, the knowledge and skills that are important to know and do. Finally, with the third question, instructors begin to detail the enduring understandings, overarching learning goals, and big ideas that students should retain. By answering the three questions presented at this stage, instructors will be able to determine the best content for the course. Traditional lesson planning starts with choosing a topic (and often a book title) to teach. From there, the teacher plans out a series of lessons and activities to teach student content that falls under the umbrella of the chosen topic.

In contrast, the 3 general ILOs help students understand the course’s scope and aim in a more digestible way. Notice that a general learning outcome (“tease out the laws of electromagnetism…”) is rather non-specific. One of the most frequently cited challenges of Backward Design is the time commitment required for planning. Educators like Linda Darling-Hammond have noted that preparing comprehensive plans and aligning them with assessments and activities can take substantial time.

Now it’s time to create lessons and activities for your course materials. Since you already know what your tests will be about, this should be relatively easy. Jean Pak is the founder and owner of Jean Pak LLC and a Thinkific Expert and Learning Experience Designer helping businesses develop more interactive and engaging learning experiences.

Current trends in educational technology, personalized learning, and inclusive education all offer exciting avenues for integrating and evolving the principles of Backward Design. Scholars in the field of special education, such as Thomas Hehir, question whether the Backward Design framework is flexible enough to accommodate learners with diverse needs. Issues around accessibility, differentiated instruction, and cultural responsiveness come to the fore. According to these critics, the structured, step-by-step nature of Backward Design could potentially stifle spontaneity and limit opportunities for exploratory learning. This could be particularly problematic in subjects like the arts, where creative exploration is key. Educational scholars like Alfie Kohn have raised concerns that an approach like Backward Design, which starts with outcomes and assessments, might place too much emphasis on testing and grading.

You can choose to create a wholly unique castle, or you can take inspiration from famous castles from real life or in fiction. Be it Windsor Castle in England, Kaer Morhen from The Witcher series, or Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter, choose something that you have a personal affinity for. Not only will it give you the drive to continue with these lengthy builds, but it can also give you specific elements to build off of. Start with the Great Hall of Hogwarts, the drawbridge of Castle Greyskull, whatever it takes to start the process with a memorable section, and flesh it out from there. The age-old build that everyone has tried at one point or another. Whether you’re an expert builder or you barely know how to build a house in Minecraft, a castle has likely crossed your mind as a long-term goal.

Ultimate Japanese Pagoda

Particularly excellent alongside other medieval-style builds (even more so if you apply a complimentary texture pack), castles can feel restrictive in your approach to building them. For those wanting to live more lavishly, a mansion is an excellent project to display the wealth of resources and items that you have accumulated as you’ve explored. Sorry thalassiaphobia peeps, we are heading back to the waters for this next Minecraft house idea. Hopefully this one will be a tad more bearable for you, as instead of being under the water, you’ll be living it up on top of it in your very own boathouse. A tutorial from YouTuber ‘Sv Gravity’ details the steps you will need to take to be sailing the seas in your very own boathouse… well it won’t actually be moving anywhere, but you get the point.

Awesome Tree House

However, whether you’re playing in a survival game, or you’re putting together your own world in creative move, you need a place to call your home. Why not take it to the literal chilliest of extremes and make an icy igloo your HQ? You can make this boathouse as far away from land as you want or as close as you want, it’s completely dependent on what vibe you are going for. Is that vibe complete seclusion, peace, and tranquillity, or do you want the ability to pop to a neighbouring village with ease?

Minecraft house ideas: wooden house ideas

Either way, if and when you're stumped for ideas on how to add a flourish to the bland and stereotypical wooden four walls approach, you can start here from our list of 10 favorite Minecraft House builds. Straight from the mind of Gorillo, these three options for your first survival house can get you started off right no matter what style you like. From a little A-frame dugout to an underwater base or a stately treehouse, these builds use easy-to-acquire blocks and are quick to put up and move in, so you can get on to exploring and mining. This 8x8 cabin not only looks great, but it's also easy to build and takes no time at all, making it the perfect place for when you're new.

Minecraft Castles

With its use of sandstone, wooden details, and layered style, this Minecraft desert house will be a true eyecatcher in an otherwise barren landscape. The most important building material is smooth sandstone, which is made by smelting normal sandstone, so it shouldn’t be hard to get. Despite the modest size of this desert house, the end result looks like a tiny palace that wouldn’t be out of place in a thousand-and-one-night fairytale. Spruce is objectively one of the best-looking wood types in Minecraft, so if you find yourself in a Taiga biome, it’s only natural to want to build your house from the dark wood. The hard part is deciding on the rest of the color palette – i.e. the best blocks to pair with your planks. Okay, so bamboo planks might not be the best-looking wood variant Minecraft has ever seen, but it’s pretty unique – and bamboo rafts are awesome.

Clover-shaped underground house

This handy cave house tutorial by TheMythicalSausage offers some great tips on how to create a practical layout and make it look natural at the same time. Try using slabs and upside-down stairs, and you’ll have an amazing underground base in no time. If you fancy extending it later on to create more rooms, then the relative ease at which you can gather materials makes a wooden house an attractive proposition. Also, this sweet wooden cabin comes with a porch, so you can relax and take it easy before setting off on an adventure. If you feel like changing it up, you can replace wooden house designs with any of the ten Minecraft wood types, including Tales and Trails bamboo planks.

Anyone trying to get into your place will have to face the traps you’ve reactivated. With a hideable cross-shaped glass roof and enough space for all your crafting needs, it’s the ideal build for beginners and is one of the best Minecraft house ideas for survival. This treehouse has a simple design and utilizes mostly oak-blocks, and, therefore, should be something that can be built quickly in a survival game. When I was looking for awesome Minecraft house ideas for this post, this one from YouTuber Rizzial caught my eye. Because, I actually helped my oldest son complete this house tutorial a couple of years ago. And, if I remember correctly, it was a fun build and my son loved it.

If you’re particularly keen on keeping plants indoors, this is a great option. If the prospect of building the large modern mansion above is a little too intimidating, here’s a smaller Minecraft modern house for you to try first. This cave design is quite simple but very efficient, as you only need to remove some dirt and stones to create the main space.

The landmark mansion was built in 1902 by architect Joseph J. Blick for Gertrude Potter Daniels, who paid $15,000 for the shingle-style home. In 1905, Susanna Bransford Emery-Holmes—known as the Silver Queen thanks to the source of her late husband’s fortune—purchased the home and soon made it her own. I graduated from UCLAs graduate program in 2001 with a FIDER accredited certificate in Interior & Environmental Design. Just before I graduated I began my design career as an Interior Designer in Los Angeles with a high-end residential firm. I then spent over seven years in the Model Home Industry as a Lead Interior Designer for two of Southern California’s top award winning Model home Design Firms.

The roof doubles as a spacious desk and from up here the views are amazing. The building was constructed by Holodeck architects along a slope and establishes a close dialogue with the landscape. The house was partially embedded into the slope and this allowed the architects to include terraces on each level. The design of this house was greatly influenced by the surrounding area and the structures present there.

Of all the Folli builds featured on this list, this one is surprisingly my favourite. With this next house, YouTuber YalChu used nether brick to create a lovely and eye-catching red roofed home that is bound to provide great inspiration for lots of aspiring builders. It's a compact creation surrounded by a stone and iron bar fence, with a small but mighty garden and a compact but stylish interior. If you want to set up home in the Mangrove Swamp, then YouTuber Folli has created a lovely looking starter house out of materials found in the biome. It's a small, cosy, rustic house that strikes me as the perfect base to build far from your main home.

Wooden Cliffside House

HALNY has a really interesting MC home idea here, one that we don’t see very often. The apartment can be a major base for all your friends and is fun to have when sharing a realm. Though you may not be neighbors in real life, you can make that happen in-game (or perhaps you are neighbors and just want to roleplay!). Add an elevator shaft filled with jelly at the bottom to go from floor to floor and survive the fall. You can further expand on this by adding a stairwell, eateries, and a front desk at the base to make a big-city tower true to life.

Simple Modern House

If you are someone who fancies the Desert biome, building the right starter house will go a long way to keep yourself safe and have enough space for early-game resources. With Minecraft’s ever-expanding roster of biomes and blocks, the potential for house designs seems endless. However, the sheer variety can sometimes be intimidating, especially for those just starting out. If you love floral aesthetics, this cherry blossom house is the perfect addition to your Minecraft world. Follow these steps to create your own peaceful and beautiful home. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any video tutorials for these houses.

Wooden Treehouse Mansion

If you do build close to land you gain the ability to extend out, constructing gardens and farms to help grow food and other necessities. But the choice is yours to make and you can use this Minecraft house idea however you see fit. Sunken underneath a fake island, Lomby's underwater house is a multiroom complex hidden away from prying eyes. Whether you just want to feel like a seafloor supervillain or have a legitimate need to hide your base away, this is a stylish option that can expand underground.

Big multipurpose survival house

There’s been a few Medieval-style houses posted above, but they were mostly larger builds. This is a great Medieval house idea from BlueNerd if you’re looking for something with a smaller design. This tutorial is easy to follow and is only about 30-minutes long. While it’s arguably easier to go for a half-submerged house, let’s go for the real deal and build ourselves a fully submerged underwater base. This glass igloo design by Random Steve Guy offers an amazing view of Minecraft’s underwater world, and it doesn’t even require any rare building materials.

Large Wooden Survival House

Since 1976, we have worked with clients and contractors to build houses, interiors and other structures throughout California and the rest of the world. You might not want to spend hours and hours collecting resources and building a monumental modern house. In fact, the majority of the casual player base wants a design like the one by YouTuber Rizzial. This features a lot of glass which can easily be made by putting sand in a furnace.

So, we almost never test-assemble anything—the joinery is so tight pieces would be damaged in trying to take them apart once assembled. Temple carpentry, along with tea house carpentry, is considered the pinnacle of the craft tradition in Japan. A body of knowledge accumulated over centuries by craftsmen who habitually refine every element of their trade isn't picked up easily. To make the most of this design, you can add mods like the Milky Way Galaxy Night Sky, shaders like BSL, and texture packs like Jicklus.

If you want inspiration for a dwelling that gives you enough room for every single one of your needs and more, then this mansion by IrieGenie is a great starting point for inspiration. This build gives off effortless charm, and is the perfect inspiration for anyone who wants to give their home more of a fairytale feel. If you're after inspiration for a slightly larger base, then take a look at this marvellous fantasy mansion from YouTuber BigTonyMC. This painstakingly crafted manor is made from logs and stone bricks, but the real strength is in the little details.

Landscape architect Elisa Read Pappaterra filled the center fountain with cascading succulents. Bursts of hot pink and apple green energize Steven Cordrey’s design for the home’s veranda. Hand-beaded light fixtures illuminate the seating areas, which feature tables and chairs from Janus et Cie’s Amalfi Coast outdoor collection.

If a rustic abode isn’t your style, there are plenty of modern Minecraft house designs to choose from. They include stone, slabs, and clay to mold your modern crib, complete with large glass windows and a balcony to soak up the views. As such, modern houses take more time to plan and build, so you will need to be dedicated and have everything prepared in advance.

This house has lots of great detail, but still has a simple and classic appearance. If you’re in the mood to build a cottage, this little cub cottage is perfect. It may not be as little as you’d like, but you can definitely adjust the size to your liking. This can even be beneficial in solo play, as having a Redstone-controlled secret base ensures that no Mobs can break down a door and invade your private safe space. This Japanese temple is a thing of pure beauty and captures the essence of these buildings perfectly. Native California wildflowers accent the Arroyo Vista Garden, which was designed with fire safety in mind.

In yet another Minecraft house idea tutorial from TonyMC, we have this huge, stunning, fantasy-style mansion. I really like the mix of stone, wood, and sandstone, as well as the two clocks on both of the houses. (Also, why are the roofs different colors and the clocks at different times? There’s some real mystery there…) There’s also a 2-part series that covers the interior of this mansion. YouTuber BlueNerd has a few entries on this list, and for good reason. He puts together some unique builds, including this Mushroom-themed house design.

If you’re looking for a bigger jungle house design, then you might want to watch this video from VexelVille. This tutorial gives detailed step-by-step directions and is easier to follow than some of the tutorials listd above. This tutorial was put together by Mia Bloom and features a lot of Jungle planks and Jungle logs, as well as brick slabs and stairs, and green Terracotta. However, this is another video that isn’t so much of a detailed step-by-step guide as it is more of a video that you can pull inspiration from. I don’t know what it is about this TonyMC house build, but it is one of my favorites on this list.
