Unit Overview (1 page) Unit Title: (Name of Unit) Unit Overview: (What information would a colleague need to decide whether or not to use the unit?) This (number) -week, (number) lesson unit is based on Chapter (number) of (Name of Textbook) . It engages (beginning/intermediate/advanced) (middle school/high school/university) Spanish (level of class such as I, II, III, IV, AP, 101, 102, 105, 106, 205, 206) students in exploring the theme of (theme of unit) . During the unit, students will learn to (communicative task/s) using the (grammatical structures) . The unit will revolve around (#) primary topics: (list of major cultural and vocabulary topics covered during the unit) . Major activities include: (titles of major activities from the unit) . The unit culminates in a (name of final project or special activity) . Additional assessments of student progress include: (list of major assessments) . The unit assumes that students already know (list of key topics) . Unit Rationale: (What are the pedagogical purposes of the unit & why will they matter to students?) This unit is designed to help students understand the importance that (social issue and/or cultural topic) plays in (name of country or cultural group) life. It engages students in exploring how and why (name of cultural product/practice) (shapes/reflects/relates to) (name of targeted cultural perspective) . This unit gives students opportunities to (list why this unit will matter to STUDENTS) . Students will develop communicative proficiency by exploring the guiding question: (list the essential question students will explore during this unit) Teacher Work Sample Template ♦ Revised 2010 ♦ Adapted from Dr. Blair Bateman by Dr. Cherice Montgomery (To use this template, replace the prompts in the gray boxes with your own text and then delete any text that appears in red.) To craft your guiding question, write a statement that explains the main goal of the unit—the one key thing you want students to know and be able to do by the end of the unit. Next, write a statement that answers the question, “Why should this matter to students?” Now, try to write a single statement that combines the two sentences you wrote above. Finally, flip the resulting sentence into a question. (Sometimes, it is easier to craft a set of questions and then pull out the key elements of each one to form your guiding question. The other questions will usually become sub-questions that guide individual lessons as opposed to the entire unit.)
