Project Required Elements:

The measurable outcomes for this assignment will include:
A unit plan designed for one week of instruction.
All associated materials and instruction for the unit. These materials should support an asynchronous virtual or blended
instructional model.
A detailed understanding of how instruction would look and feel. How instruction would look, take place, feel, and align to
research-based practices should be either obvious by an observer (or grader) or annotated on a separately submitted in
a document, video, or other type of material. Moreover, it should also be obvious whether the unit is setup for a
completely virtual learning experience or one of the recognized blended models (please identify model alignment; see
Christensen Institute reading).
A digital face-to-face presentation (poster style) highlighting the planned unit, the associated materials, and how the
design incorporates research-based instructional design, strategies, and practices. To demonstrate research alignment,
your presentation will minimally include three citations.
A self-rated rubric on your own project.
