Gather Your Resources Zombie Notebook Reflection
After you read the steps of unit planning and watch the video on Rigorous Curriculum Design, proceed to the zombie notebook reflection. At the end of the priority standards page you chose a standard that you believe is a priority standard for your English class. As you reflect on that priority standard, craft big ideas and essential questions for that standard and unit.
