Designing an integrated unit may feel overwhelming, as it incorporates different subject areas that complement each other in one unit of study. For this reason, it’s important to find the right connections between the subject areas so that you can effectively address multiple standards in the lessons. In Week 2, you developed an outline and overview for your literacy-integrated social studies unit, and this week, you plan the individual lessons.

Refer to the Wk 2 – Summative Assessment: Integrated Unit Outline and Overview to complete this assignment.

Create 2 developmentally appropriate lesson plans for your literacy-integrated social studies unit. Focus on one of the following instructional concepts per lesson plan:

• Inquiry-based learning
• Culturally responsive instruction
• Student-centered learning opportunities

Include the following elements in each lesson plan:

• Grade level
• Learning objectives that meet the following requirements:
• Reflect various levels of thinking (use Bloom’s Taxonomy)
• Are specific, measurable, and observable (use SMART Goal)
• Are developmentally and content-area appropriate (activities must be meaningful and rigorous to the grade level)
• State what students should know and be able to do
• Align to state content and ISTE standards (go back to lesson 2 for the link)
• List of materials, tools, and/or resources used in the lesson (see below and be specific – use the title and then provide the information for each)
• Primary and secondary sources
• Technology and digital tools
• Current events

• Activities incorporate both student and teacher use of technology
• Accommodations and/or modifications for ALL diverse learners (evidence of each English learner, learning disabilities, gifted/talented) 
• Closure and independent practice
• Teacher wrap-up
• Final check for understanding (be specific)
• Activities for independent practice (No Homework and no worksheets – research project-based learning)
• Assessments
• Formative assessment that variesin delivery and assesses both content and technology standards

Include a summative assessment of the unit.
