Brenham ISD Unit Plan

Unit 11 : Living Museum (15 Days)

Social Studies / 5th

What do we want students to know and be able to do?

Step 1: Identify the essential standards for the unit.

Essential Standards

Supporting Standards

5.18 The student understands the importance of effective leadership in a constitutional republic.

5.18B identify leadership qualities of national leaders, past and present

What are the specific learning targets (bite-sized pieces of learning) that lead to students being able to accomplish the unit goals?

Step 2: Unwrap the essential TEKS.

Learning Targets (Student Objectives)

What should students know and be able to do?

(Information, processes, concepts, main ideas that students must know or understand)

(Performance, skills, or actions students must do or demonstrate)

Big Ideas: Students will know and be able to do:

  • Early Life, Importance/Accomplishments, Interesting Facts, and Legacy of Important historical figures
  • Significance to United States History

What academic language / vocabulary should students acquire and use?

(Include the term and definition)

How will we know if they have learned it? (common summative assessment)

Step 3: Discuss evidence of the end in mind - How will you know if students achieved these standards? What type of task could they perform or complete by the end of the unit? With what level of proficiency? With what type of problem or text (stimulus)?  Could include exemplars or a rubric.

Students will demonstrate mastery of the unit by completing the following:

Where in the unit does it make sense to see if our students are learning what we are teaching? What evidence will we collect along the way? (common formative assessment)

Step 4: Plan the timing for common formative assessments - As the team designs the plan, include the quality instructional practices that support high levels of student learning.
