TM-Unit

Let's look at a typical semester of 9th grade Civics (this is a semester-long course).
We begin with a look at the topics that will need to be covered (and uncovered):

The first step is to determine what concepts, knowledge and skills need to be taught. Look ACROSS your scope and sequence to everything you will need to teach.

Next, determine what teaching strategies would we use to get students to understand and be able to use the concepts, knowledge and skills? Which concepts/skills/understandings lend themselves to a technology inclusion? These are your lesson plans!

Now, let's take a look at how a teacher writes ONE unit of instruction. Read this carefully--this is what you will be doing in this course!



When I sit down to write a unit, this is the exact process I go through. TRY IT!

=
I've written hundreds of units (some good, some great, some awful), but I've written many. And, as a result of working on many of these collabertively, this is a process that is sound and will work. Obviously, as you get more experienced, you will adapt it to your personal style or maybe design your OWN process, but **PLEASE READ THIS** and try it.=====
