Collaborative Unit Planning Provisioning: You will likely want to have at least 1-2 computers at the ready to do some very preliminary research into the ideas you think you want to focus on. Everyone should have their notebooks out for note-taking. TASK Work together to write a PROPOSAL that you will share with the class.
The proposal should include the following
1) What specific topics we should focus on AND WHY (try and be specific as you can, given the time you have right now). Also, remember, we only have 26 class periods.
2) What assessments / projects / tests / writing assignments should we have?
