Links and binds content, skills and assessmentContent: Begin with clearly stated concept (key idea or understanding), followed by bulleted, targeted content points with key facts, key names, key events, and key points of knowledge to be addressedSkills: Verbs (observable & assessable)Activities:Assessment: Noun ( will show progress or regress) – Evidence of targeted skills, evidence of student knowledge of prescribed content.ResourcesStandards
  3. What do you want people of leave with?A relational phrase or statementSharpens focus and helps to determine what needs to be taught.Written in bold formIf you have difficulty stating the concept… Identify three words that describe the focus of the unit; force these into a statement.Once you have the concept, you can reword into the Essential QuestionsEx. : Location determines a country’s economic possibilitiesTeamwork promotes cooperationHistory repeats itself
