Note: You must explicitly include all outline headings and sub-headings in your plan. This is for ease in reading... for me..

---

1. Theme or Title:
The central unifying principle that connects all of the parts of the plan as a cohesive whole. It should be descriptive and informative thematically.

2. Purpose/Outcome:
Explicit statement of purpose and rationale given in terms of the instrumental value of the knowledge the students will acquire. This considers both the efficacy of the concepts, principles, and ideas that are to be taught as well as authentic relevance in terms of its being liberating and empowering. The substance of the knowledge to be taught as well as the thought processes by which the knowledge is used are equally important to empowering pedagogy.

3. Knowledge to be taught:
Specific identification and itemization of the concepts, principles, and ideas, and processes to be taught.

1. Subject-area concepts, principles, and ideas.
2. Concepts, principles, and ideas from other fields and disciplines.
3. Identify what hidden curriculum is formed from what you are intending to do about it... value it and make any adjustments necessary.
4. Specifically dentify the collateral curriculum you are creating.

4. Overview of major activities:

1. Introductory Activity:
   How will the students be brought into the unit. Usually formulated as a Set Induction.
2. Core Activities:
   Brief overview of the learning activities(s).
3. Culminating Activity:
   How will the unit conclude for the students such that there is a sense of closure and coherence.
4. Assessment Activity:
   How will instructional objectives be assessed in terms of student learning. This assessment must be designed to show as much validity as possible the degree to which the learner knows what, how, where, why, and when the concepts, principles, and ideas specified in the instructional objectives are authentically used.

5. Daily Lesson Plans: (Note: Place each day's lesson on a seperate page.)

1. Specific instructional objectives:
   Itemized objectives containing explicit conceptual reference and general indication of the activity being used to provide the students the opportunity to experience the material.
2. Parallel listing of Teacher/Student activities:
   Briefly put the Teacher Activities on the left and the Student Activities on the right with a solid line seperating the two.
3. Note how you will assess teaching and learning on a daily basis:
   Very briefly note what informal items will give you clues as to how the students are doing and how you are doing as the teacher.

6. Grading:
Definitive statement of how grades will be assigned and a defense of the validity of the assessment procedures in terms of the knowledge specified in the instructional objectives and the intellectual processes appropriate for associate, interpretive, and applicative uses of the specific concepts, principles, and ideas that have been specified.
