Planning a unit involves outlining the standards, objectives, lesson ideas, differentiation ideas, and assessment plans. All of these components must be thoughtfully planned for students to make necessary connections.
Use the “3 Day Unit Plan Template” to create brief outlines for each component of the three lesson plans, including the current concepts and standards being taught and the incorporation of literacy development. Select one or more state content area standards, one English language arts (ELA) reading standard, and one vocabulary or writing ELA standard. Include at least one research-based reading comprehension strategy and one technology resource in each lesson.
The three lesson plans will be fully developed in Topics 4, 6, and 7.
Beneath the unit plan, write a 250-500 word rationale justifying the reading comprehension strategies. Rationalize the use of the chosen technologies and how each supports the comprehension strategies.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
