How Do You Make A Unit Plan?
Here are a few simple steps to follow for making the most of your textbook’s unit structure. Step 1 Create specific goals for every lesson in the unit. Ask yourself what you want your students to know at the end of each lesson. Step 2 Decide whether you’ll be using any outside resources (videos, Internet, pictures) for your unit, and make sure you have those materials available when you need them. Step 3 Create your own quizzes for each lesson. By studying the results of those quizzes, you can better shape a unit test to what the class needs to know. Step 4 Teach only the lessons you feel are important to the overall goal of the unit. Don’t be hindered by the textbook if you aren’t comfortable with its structure. You can create the best flow of lessons for your particular class.
