  3. What goes in a unit? • Stage 1: Identifying Desired Results- What standards do we need to address? What do we want students to know, understand, and be able to do as a result of their learning? • Stage 2: Assessment Evidence- Describe your performance task(s). Make sure that it addresses the overarching understandings from the standards. • Stage 3: Learning Plan- What daily lessons will help your students achieve the learning targets?

  5. Steps for Writing a Unit

  6. Step 1 • Use ACS Scope and Sequence to determine ELA focus standards and develop unit framework based on these standards

  7. Step 2 • Unpack the standards. • Determine key understandings, knowledge, and skills students need in order to master the standards. • Use the understandings to write overarching essential questions.

  8. Step 3 • Go back to the standards and re-evaluate which standards should be included.

  9. Step 4 • Select cross-curricular tie-ins that enhance the ELA standards without overshadowing them

  10. Step 5 • Create a performance task that assesses the focus standards

  11. Step 6 • Create a learning plan by: • Pacing out a lesson progression • Selecting complex grade level texts • Writing daily lessons that address the needs and interests of your class • Including topical essential questions and formative assessments

  12. Step 7 • Evaluate the unit using the rubric and make adjustments as needed.
