Presentation by Andreas Schleicher Tackling the School Absenteeism Crisis 30 ...
Abstract
1. This Unit Plan is for a seventh grade English class in a private school. Over the
course of a week, the class will participate in several different activities that outline
the concepts of genre and writing style. The students will have a week-long project,
complemented by a few smaller projects throughout the week. There is a writing
assignment at the end of the week that requires the students to reflect on what they
learned. Through the use of YouTube videos, the class blog, examples, and mini
assignments that assess their understanding daily, the students will learn about the
concepts of genre and writing style.
