Unit+Plan

Instructions: This section should be a day-by-day breakdown of what will be happening in the classroom. You do not need to create 15 individual lesson plans in the same vein of the assignments that we have been doing this year. Instead, you can identify at the beginning of the daily description which goals will be the focus for the day, what the activities are that you have planned, and what materials you will be using. You do not need to provide the actual materials that you will use, but you do need to describe and cite them. If you are using a primary document, for example, name and/or describe it (if unfamiliar) and explain the way in which it will be taken up in class. You should utilize at least four different genres of text in this unit and you must plan to incorporate selections from the two literary texts you read this semester (fiction, political cartoon, film, documentary, poetry, textbook, photograph, diary, guest speaker, piece of research, everyday artifacts, statistics, etc.).
