Uniquely Alaskan Unit

Over the course of the year, I created many unit plans. Some were written in a formal manner, using backwards design, as part of my coursework for the MAT program. Others were designed (less formally) during my student teaching, for use in the 2 - 3 classes I taught full time this year. There is some overlap between these two categories.

Below, I have included all of the Unit Plans that I created specifically for the MAT Program, as well as a couple of the less-formally-created plans of which I am most proud.

In Spring 2011, as part of ED600 - Alaska Studies, taught by Tom Pennington, I created a "uniquely Alaskan Lesson Plan". This backwards-design lesson plan teaches students about the literary movements of naturalism and realism as they read Jack London's "To Build a Fire" and incorporates lessons on hypothermia (including a fun quiz), lessons on writing descriptively using the five sense (after getting semi-hypothermic), a "uniquely Alaskan" class speaker, and a lesson in writing proper thank you notes (for the class speaker).
