Part one

W: WHERE the unit is headed and WHAT is expected of your learners.

I will ensure my students are well prepared with the materials and support they need to
complete this unit. I will make sure they are aware of the objectives and goals we are
working toward and how they will impact them in the future. I also will connect all my
learning topics to real world experiences to ensure they are retaining the information.
Students will understand how they are being evaluated and what they need to do to reach
their goals for this unit. Students will be able to successfully write a few sentences about
their weekend as well as draw a picture that matches the topic in the sentences. Students
will be able to master all the components of writing a complete sentence and expressing
their thoughts.

H: How you will HOOK each of your students and HOLD their interest throughout the
learning plan.

I will make each part of this unit exciting and engaging. I will tie all the material back to the
students' interests as well as their experiences. As the educator I will make each part of the
lesson fun by having them create sentences about their weekend, what they love to do,
describing themselves, etc. Students will have freedom in the topics they write about as
well as materials they use for their drawing. We will incorporate a new piece of art utensil
with each different writing piece. For example, crayons, markers, stamp pens, paint, etc. I
will also make sure that all my students are enjoying the activity and aren't having any
trouble completing their sentences. Offering one on one support or even partner work
might be added to the lesson.

E: The ways you will EQUIP your students to help them EXPERIENCE and EXPLORE the
ideas being studied in your class.

I will tie each lesson to a real-world experience to connect their learning. This will help
them make their understanding real. I will also provide them all with the proper support to
meet their individual needs. Whether that is writing out the sentences on a white board and
having them copy them, or sitting with the student and helping them write down their ideas.

R: Then it will be important to offer the students opportunities for formative


assessment. How will students be able to RETHINK, REVISIT or REVISE their work in
order to grow and improve?
After completing the assignment, if there are any errors, as the educator I will sit down with
the student and practice the area that they struggled on. Whether that is sentence
structure, or spelling. This allows the student to be able to reflect and revise the work they
created.

E(2): Provide students with ways to EVALUATE or self-assess their own work.

I want my students to be responsible in their work and actions. I believe it is important for
students to understand the right and wrong things to do as well as how to fix them. Self-
assessment is a great way for students to recognize their specific objectives and see areas
they need to approve in. I personally think for this young of an age group, a self-assessment
or observation would be two good ways to evaluate a student's performance. A small, to
the point rubric will be clear for the students to understand what they missed in their
writing piece and what they completed properly.

T: Be sure to TAILOR the learning plan to meet the variability of learners. This often
means incorporating multiple modalities and using technology-- remember, the
creative use of technology is required in your learning plan.

I will first make sure that I am aware of all my students’ individual needs. I will then make
sure there is enough staff support in my room to meet the students who need one on one
support. I will also provide whiteboards to the students who need help writing and copying
their sentences. I will also provide different support materials such as an example of the
letters in the alphabet to give them a visual of each of the letters.

O: Offer tools to the students to help them to stay ORGANIZED so they can be
effective learners (graphic organizers? checklists? It is up to you, but it should be
present in this portion of your project)

I will provide my students with a clear poster that will be presented in the front of the room.
This will be a visual for students to identify what they need to complete and make sure they
met all the key points in the assignment. Here is an example below.
Part two:

I can add a big


capital letter at
the beginning of
my sentence!
I can put a period
at the end of my
sentence!
I used a sight
word!
I drew a colorful
picture!

I personally thought this activity was a great way to organize the concepts and goals of
this unit. I believe this will help me make sure that this unit is able to support all my
learners with diverse needs. I also liked how I was able identify the different elements
of my lesson and connect them to my learners. I believe this will allow me to create a
meaningful connection with each of my learners. I especially feel that my topic and
age level work well with the practice we used in this assignment. That is because it
helps me connect to my learners on a more personal level and help them reach a
common goal with their peers.

What are some ways to keep my kindergarten students engaged in this writing unit?

How can I educate students on how to connect their pictures to their sentence ideas?
