  5. 3a. UbD and What is a unit plan? • UbD: Glossary, Template • Short readings • Revision as point of entry into ID Process • What is a unit? (4 hours+) …. Next slide

  6. 3b. What is a unit? Short for a "unit of study." Units represent a coherent chunk of work in courses or strands, across days or weeks. An example is a unit on natural habitats and adaptation that falls under the yearlong strand of living things (the course), under 3rd grade science (the subject), and under science (the program). Though no hard and fast criteria signify what a unit is, educators generally think of a unit as a body of subject matter that is somewhere in length between a lesson and an entire course of study; that focuses on a major topic (e.g., Revolutionary War) or process (e.g., research process); and that lasts between a few days and a few weeks. (p. 353)

  7. 4. The Plan You Select • Must be available online • Cannot be a plan you have created in past classes • Cannot be in UbD format already

  8. 5. Group Composition & Etiquette Composition • Groups formed to have between 3 and 4 members (with a couple of exceptions) • Groups formed based on complementary content areas Etiquette • be responsive to your groupmates • be timely in your contributions • take the initiative in this online environment • try not to get offended when a groupmate posts or edits your work (this is hard to do, but it needs to be done)

  9. 6. Discomfort Working in Groups Online • Online group work not easy • This project is 62% individual • 1 group collaboration/decision-point in each GroupIT (1, 2, and 3) • Use the collaboration tools you have at your fingertips: your Main Page’s discussion board, CourseDen mail, email, cell phones • Hard but worth it

  10. 7. Technology Integration in Unit Plan • Why requiring technology integration is tricky and/or fallacious • Technology to support goals/objectives • Show thoughtful inclusion of technology

  11. 8. Timeframes and Late Submission • Attention to timeframe is crucial. • No late work. • If you are a procrastinator, make this project the priority in the class.

  12. 9. Project Feedback & Grading • Huett Ongoing Feedback Link (Huettwhole group) • Dropbox feedback (numerical in nature)

  13. 10. Navigating the Project/Class Wiki Telling • Each group has a Main Page. • You will link to your Main Page on the Artifacts Section of Your Wiki. • Each Main Page has an Empty UbD Template onto Which your Will 1)Translate Your Chosen Unit Plan and 2) Revise/Improve Your Chosen Unit Plan • Links to other pages, Disc. Board, and Huett Ongoing Feedback • Project Instructions Page Showing • Keep Watching!
