Stage 3 – Learning Plan Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction There will be several discussions periodically throughout the unit to check comprehension and to make sure students are heading in the correct direction. Students will come to the realization that things they were taught prior to their readings can help build their understanding. Students will be asked to create several drafts in order to make sure students are guiding themselves, and their peers, in the right direction. These workshops will also allow for students to see when they need to continue to revise or if they are ready to begin editing. My 15-day unit plan will consist of reading overviews, understanding what analysis is, and strengthening their writing and reading skills. Students need to be able to infer when reading a text and work on processing information as they read their material.
