18. Standards met with this artifact: Standard 3 speaks to the idea that educators have in-depth knowledge of the subjects that they teach. I n designing this unit I was able to draw upon my fascination with things related to space and the environment. I n addition, I needed to fill in any gaps in my knowledge through research thus giving me a broad base in the subject area. Standard 7 speaks to the implementation of effective teaching practices. B ecause this is an integrated unit which linked to Language Arts, Math, Technology a nd Fine Arts, it draws upon the varied strengths of the students in any classroom. I n addition, in creating groups with careful consideration paid to the balanced make-up of each group, I was able to include all students and have them be active participants in all activities. T hus, even my students on IEP's contributed to the posters and to the presentations at the end of the unit. W hen necessary, I also included adaptations for LD and ESL students.
