Unit Plan
Developing a Unit Vision
At this stage in your planning process you need to answer the question, “What would it look like for my students to master the unit learning goals?”
Make sure that you can concretely describe in detail the most important things for your students to learn, and what it will look like for students to demonstrate that they have achieved the unit goals.
revolutionaryTEACHING
Essential Questions
Essential questions reflect the key inquiries and the understanding goals of the unit and thus serve to focus the unit and prioritize learning.
Enduring understandings is an inference that students are helped to draw or verify in the unit.
revolutionaryTEACHING
Essential Questions
SS: Whose story is this? Whose voices aren’t we hearing?
Math: How does what we measure influence how we measure?
ELA: What is the relationship between fiction and truth?
Science: How are structure and function related in living things?
Foreign Language: How might the context of a word help me understand words I do not know?
revolutionaryTEACHING
Enduring Understandings
Enduring understandings are the specific insights, inferences, or conclusions about the big idea you want your students to leave with.
