create a cohesive, two-week unit plan that is appropriate for general education, ESOL, and
ESE students in a mainstream classroom. The unit plan can be based on a class you are observing this semester or on a
class you hope to teach in the future. Please see the Unit Plan Template Instructions document (in MyCourses) for more
information on how to complete the Unit Plan as well as the Unit Plan Development Activities feedback as you complete
the Unit Plan.
NOTE: ACCORDING TO STUDENTS, THIS ASSIGNMENT TAKES 25-30 HOURS TO COMPLETE.
Completing the Unit Plan
1. EL Profiles Table (15 points) – Fill in the table to describe the English learners in your CCT’s classroom. You
need to plan to teach four ESOL students. If you do not have four ESOL students who fit the characteristics
described below, please create fictional ESOL students to ensure you address the assignment requirements. The
characteristics of the students must include the following:
a. One student at each proficiency level using the WIDA descriptors: Entering, Emerging, Developing, and
Expanding. (Note: Accommodations must be provided for each student at each level for every day of the
plan.)
b. One of the four ESOL students must also be identified as ESE with a high incidence disability, such as
SLD, ADD/ADHD, or Speech & Language. (Note: Accommodations for language should be placed under
Accommodations for ELs, and ESE accommodations should be placed under Accommodations for ESE
on the 10-day unit plan template.)
c. One of the four ESOL students must also have limited formal schooling and limited L1 literacy.
d. At least two languages must be represented in your EL population.
2. Unit Plan template (90 points) – Create a two-week plan that is cohesive; it may be focused on one content area
or interdisciplinary with two or more content areas. You may complete this plan in one of two ways.
a. Expand the one-week plan you are completing for your Practicum II course
b. Develop a completely new plan based on lessons you hope to teach or that correspond to the lessons you
are observing in your CCT’s classroom
