Activity: Curriculum Planning

Time: 20 Hours
Artifact: Quotes and PPT from To Kill a Mockingbird
Description:
English teacher Yvonne McKenzie and I worked on
developing new units for an anchor text for a newly
adopted curriculum for 10th grade in Allegany County.
We planned throughout the summer to create lessons,
projects, and activities that aligned with the State
Standards and used UDL to approach students in a
variety of genres.
Reflection:
Creating lesson plans that align with the State Standards
is extremely time-consuming. However, creating lessons
that discussed racism, diversity, and multiculturalism is a
personal passion, and I enjoyed designing all of the units
and lessons that coincided with the novel, To Kill a
Mockingbird and all of the short stories that discussed
these sensitive issues that we were able to design around
this anchor text.
