Ideas for Unit Plans...



As we are working together on new Unit Plans, I want to remind you about the SAS Curriculum Pathways site that I introduced in this blog earlier in the year... THIS link will give you all of the instructions for signing up for an account. I continue to be impressed by the new content they are adding and the way that the site is set up. There are 4 types of resources in the SAS library: Interactive Tools, Inquiries, Audio Tutorials, and Web Lessons. They are all independent of each other and can be used as standalone items to supplement many different units. You can search them by subject, or look at printable lists of activities arranged by subject. They are all mapped to the NYS Standards and to the Common Core for ELA and Math. You need an account- but the kids dont- they put their name on the assignment as they do it and a PDF of the assigment is sent to your email with their name on it.  Many of the activities are also perfect for projection on the screen and discussion as a class. Here is a video overview:




If you explore the State Standards/Common Core links, you can find specific lessons tied to specific standards. This may help as you brainstorm and write new units. Consider exploring this site and trying an activity out...let us know your thoughts below?
