Notice:
-

Though the current unit plan seems too textbook-centered, the content (tasks, resources, texts) may be modified to match the students needs &
level.
The current unit plan is organized in such a way to make it easy for the teacher to write his lessons quickly & manage time efficiently both weekly and
daily.
