Must cover at least ten days total (2 weeks if you meet daily). Daily plans required (in outline form is fine- you may use the five LMU Lessons Formats if you have not already used them in your teaching). I need to see what you are doing and what the students are doing EVERYDAY. Must cover an entire standard or unit such as the Romeo and Juliet (not half of the play).

All unit handouts, assessments, presentations (videos, PowerPoints, websites, etc.) must be included or linked to (Everything you link must be visible or I cannot give you credit for it. Do not share it with me, publish it for the world to see because you won't know how I will be logged in.)

Unit Plan Due and Self-Evaluation:

Unit Plans are due! Post on your web sites.

Below you see the Rubric for your Unit Plan. After you post your Unit Plan, do a self-evaluation of your Unit Plan. I will also be providing feedback via email.

Next Steps:

Next Week - Present your unit in a video. Be sure to point out all the highlights of your unit. Tells us what you will be doing and what your students will be doing.
