Section Product: Discuss one’s current unit planning practices. • Unit Product: • Design a unit plan that: • Describes an authentic unit product. • Identifies benchmarks. • Outlines section & activity products. Describe unit product • Benchmarks • Identify real-life & work scenarios • Describe unit products • Identify benchmarks • Design a unit plan Learning by Doing: Product-Based Unit Plan Fill in lang. skills. Self survey. Fill in Scenarios. Section Product: Complete theme chart w/ examples Fill in work skills. Describe a unit product.
