Wow! Writing a unit plan take time, thinking, and patience. Writing my first unit plan was like getting slapped in the face with reality. I do not mean that in a negative way but by saying reality is setting in more and more with each step we take into student teaching. Sitting at my computer to write this unit plan was stressful but well worth it. It was a lot to take in and think about because it seems so far away but in the end its at the snap of a finger.
This unit plan came with positives and negatives. This unit plan was easy in the essence of I knew what my lesson titles were and what I wanted to do with them. The parts I found the most stressful was first off the lay out. I tried and tried, plus rearranged, deleted, and so on. I talked to a girl in the cohort and had her send me her lay out. What can I say, she saved me from throwing my computer out the window. The second was standards just because its hard to relate to standards in the non agricultural area that you have to read through and find the perfect matches.
One item that went into my lesson plan with a huge post it note reading "I have no idea" was the SLO. After skyping in with Neil and Diane I started filling out the SLO and feel pretty good about it but I guess time will tell.
From my peer feedback I have made changes which include: Adding more standards both in PA and agricultural ones, I added one to two more objectives per unit, and added overall more clarity through out m y unit plan.
