Written Assignment:Initial Steps: Guiding Questions- Begin with the end in mind:

Here are 7 initial steps for you to consider before you actually begin to develop your unit plan.

These responses should be a minimum of one well developed paragraph per heading. If you cannot yet respond to a particular prompt, write what you need to do to be able to respond to that prompt in the next three weeks.

Initial Steps: Guiding Questions

-Establish a Clear Rationale
-Make a Road Map
-Create a Mental Time Line
-Determine Your Needs
-Decide Ahead of Time About Assessment
-Anticipate Obstacles
