Insert your own Daily here.
The lessons for this unit are sketched in terms of major goals
and suggestions only for each day. This should give you the opportunity
to practice designing your own detailed lesson plans (before you
start designing entire courses on your own) and allow you put
a bit more of yourself into your teaching.
- To design your own detailed lessons for this unit, first study
the Unit II Narrative to get a good idea of the conceptual movement
of the unit, as well as several suggestions for activities. Then,
design your own lesson plans and activites in order to meet the
goals for that day.
- REMEMBER: Feel free to seek out your friendly neighborhood
composition faculty member for additional help, advice, etc.
