Thematic Unit
Thematic Unit is the organization of a curriculum around macro themes. A Thematic Unit
is basically selecting a theme with students interest or experiences. You will also
develop 3 essential questions in which you will incorporate different subjects such as
math, science, reading, etc. The questions that you develop will not have a right answer
and can be answered by any student, this will have students thinking and participating
in the lesson. Also, each lesson you develop will need to have the use of technology.
Doing this assignment, I notice that there are many ways in which you can use
technology even if is just watching a video on YouTube or doing a simple table on Excel
technology can be used even in the smallest lesson. In addition, the integration of
technology motivates children and keeps them on task. This assignment was
challenging for me because it was hard to connect everything together, the theme with
the questions and the TEKS. I still find this assignment helpful for the future, because
now I know how a Thematic Unit works and the ways I can incorporate this in my future
class.
