Information:

Check List of what your Unit Plan should include:

Must cover at least 10 days of class meetings in detail (LMU Lesson Plan Template).

Daily bullets or outlines are fine for the rest of the days.

Must cover an entire period of history (like the Civil War) or topic (like the Judicial Branch of the US government).

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 six LMU.

I need to see what you are doing and what the students are doing EVERYDAY for 2 weeks. Must cover an entire standard or unit

such as the Romeo and Juliet (not half of the play). Whatever you start, please finish. Obviously, you cannot teach a unit in 2 weeks.

Thus your two weeks must cover 2 or 3 lessons at the beginning, 4-6 lessons in the middle, and 2 or 3 lessons at the end (Into-Through-Beyond).

Be sure to cover these topics:

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) Strategies

Special Needs Adaptations

Standards

Feedback

Accommodations

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.)

A good Resource on Unit Planning - Edutopia

Unit Plan Due and Self-Evaluation:

Unit Plans are to be posted on your web sites in PDF format. All links MUST work and be shared with everyone.

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.

Below you will find a Unit Plan template to help you organize your unit. It is not mandatory to use this template, but if you don't have one, this may be helpful. If you already use one from your school, free free to use that.
