Spring 2016
Unit Plan Outline

For this unit plan, you will be creating a 15-day unit planto support a class of intermediate students at the grade level of your choice. You may manipulate the timing of the unit to fit your needs (e.g. a 7.5 day block schedule unit). You unit plan must include activities and assessments that help students develop all 4 language situations (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). Remember, as language teachers, we teach language through content, meaning you must align your unit with standards aligned content as language proficiency. The topic of your study is up to you as well, but must align with content standards that students would be studying in other classes with the main focus being language development. In this unit plan, you must assess that content standards and LEP standards have been met. These assessments should occur in various ways, including projects, self-assessments, peer assessments, games, etc. Do NOT limit yourself to only pen and paper tests.
This outline will guide the creation of your final project, the unit plan. It is a way to organize your plans for the unit as well as develop alignment. The unit plan outline your submit for the first round of feedback, will not be the same as when you submit your final unit plan because as you develop lesson plans and materials it will grow and change. The diagrams and outlines you will need to create will be tentative plans for how you create a cohesive unit plan.
It is required that you create a google doc to house your unit plan. This will lead to better organization as we continue to add components. You can have the unit plan outline be the home page and link to daily lesson plans, diagrams, and rationale as you add future components. See model and explanation video for more details.

You will be assessed according to the following rubric:
