These units model the integration of research models for alignment, instructional scaffolding, and backward design of instruction and assessment.

Suggestions:

• Write the Essential Questions from the Overview for the unit on a board or wall so that they are visible to all students to reference throughout the learning activities.
• The Check for Understanding may be used as writing prompts or as small-group or whole class debate.
• Words in italics within the strategies are suggested language for teachers as they instruct the class.
• Use a Word Wall to highlight specific content.
