Unit Planning Significance Templates Homework application Indicator 2E: Designs Coherent Instruction, Element 1
Unit Plan Template 1 • HCPSS Curriculum Framework* • (using essential components identified by DOI and MSDE structure) • Title.* • Overview* This is a brief description of the unit. It explains the unit's focus and/or theme and provides a summary of what students will learn. This is a scholarly explanation of the highlights of the unit content illuminating the content challenges and connections for teaching the unit. • Enduring Understandings These go beyond discrete facts or skills to focus on larger concepts, principles, or processes. They are transferable–applicable to new situations within or beyond the subject. • Essential Questions* (What is the walk away knowledge and understanding for students?) • Linked to central topics • Open-ended (wide variety of ways to answer/respond) • Worth exploring (universality, relevance) • Kid-friendly, age-appropriate, prompt intellectual exploration) • Interdisciplinary Connections* This section can broadly list the content areas the unit covers and suggest opportunities for "making interdisciplinary connections.” This should be both inter and intra connections, for example the disciplines of social studies create intra connections and inter connections to ELA within almost every lesson.
