ESD-565 3-DAY UNIT PLAN
Developing a unit plan provides structure and outlines the standards, objectives, lessons, materials, and assessments. It is especially helpful when planning cross-curricular units. Creating effective unit plans requires consideration of standards alignment, assessment strategies, instructional methods, and student needs. Thoughtful planning of resources, materials, and technology is important to supplement the learning and promote engagement, as well as helping students to make real-world connections.
Choose a grade level and at least one science and one health state or national standard from that grade to develop a unit plan for an inclusive classroom. Using the “3 Day Unit Plan Template” located in the Student Success Center, create a cross-curricular 3-day unit that conveys the nature of science for the practice of skills that contribute to good health. The unit plan should use multiple representations and explanations that capture key ideas in the discipline, guide student through learning progressions, and promote each student’s achievement of content standards. Include ample resources, materials, and supplementary technology to support accessibility, learning, and engagement for all students. Prepare opportunities throughout the unit that gather performance data and appropriately guide students in their own thinking and learning.
Below the unit plan, write a 250-500 word rationale justifying how the unit provides opportunities to examine performance data throughout the unit in the inclusive classroom.
Include the following:
- How do activities guide and engage students in their own thinking and learning?
- How do activities inform instructional planning based on learning gaps and patterns in the inclusive classroom?
- How will the teaching strategies and technologies used encourage students’ development of critical thinking and problem solving skills?
Support your assignment with a minimum of two scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines

See full FAQIs there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?
We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.
I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?
Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.
After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.
How will I receive a completed paper?
You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.Where do I upload files?
When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
