Writing Craft Focused Unit on the Revolutionary War
This unit was created to demonstrate the ability to incorporate writing in units across the curriculum. I worked with another girl from my class to create a unit that taught the revolutionary war and also used a lot of writing with scheduled days for writing craft, including peer and teacher feedback and rewriting. The document includes a detailed outline and rational, four sample lesson plans and a sample evaluation and rubric.
This is a great example of the skills I have developed for incorporating teaching English Language Arts in situations out side English class. As I will be certified to teach both Language Arts and Social Studies it is important that I demonstrate my ability to create lesson plans keeping both in mind. I really am hoping that my job will be teaching history but, that doesn't mean I cannot incorporate Language Arts into my classroom. I liked this unit because it is one of my favorite topics, but also because there were several different activities that were authentic and engaging that, I think, students will really love!
