Unit Introduction Comments
//(This is a great theme idea because it is so practical and it appeals to a lot of students. Good incorporation of the 5Cs)// - user:adamolau

//(It looks like you are off to a great start, with some great ideas!! I would suggest to elaborate on your goals at the end of the unit, so you know what you want your students to be able to do specifically.)// - user:picmanns

Unit Web Comments
Good how you included a list of vocab and grammar concepts. What other concepts do you hope to teach (culture, for instance)? Also, please add a list of the major learning activities you plan to do. The idea is that someone could look at this page and get a good sense of what the unit entails. You're off to a good start! user:Anny1

Thanks for the helpful suggestions! user:L2teach user:perrycheer01

I really like how you have all of the lesson plans under the unit web activities - makes everything look easier to explore with less clutter! user:picmanns

Final Project Comments
Great idea! So as you're planning your unit, make sure you teach everything the students will need to know in order to make this presentation. Question: How would this project change if you were teaching a group of students who might not have easy access to videocameras, computers, and free time after school to work on this? (It can be done, but it will probably require some creativity on your part.) Also, do you think you might need to allot more classtime? How much will students really get done in 10 minutes? Will you have a model video? user:Anny1

Great suggestions! We have already though about the students who might not have access to video cameras, computers, etc. - that is why it says that students can use the video camera in the classroom during class time or after school if they do not own one. We took your suggestion to allot more classtime! And yes, there will be a model video! user:L2teach user:perrycheer01

I really like this idea. It looks like it would be interesting for students, but at the same time it really encourages group work and promotes authentic communication. Great job! user:adamolau

Daily Schedule Comments
Excellent start! Do you think this would be more user-friendly if the activities were presented in a bulleted list? Just an idea, not a requirement. Also, eventually you'll be able to make some of these activities more specific. user:Anny1

Good idea! user:L2teach user:perrycheer01

(I like how you have given descriptions of each day. It makes it easier to see how you will accomplish your goals for the unit. Good job!) user:adamolau

Learning Centers Plan Comments
Please feel free to comment! user:L2teach user:perrycheer01 user:WhitneyLynnMSU I really like your idea for the learning centers. They all fit well together in the theme and they use authentic sources to teach culture. user:adamolau I like that you are using one worksheet for all of the centers because it links it all together and keeps it simple. I do have one question. Is the group watching the video going to be in the same room with the rest of the class? user:burhopam

Add time stamps to step-by-step lesson!!! user:L2teach

I'm not sure what the end product of the lab is? Is this specified somewhere else? user:Anny1

Unit Powerpoint Comments

I'm not sure how this fits into a lesson. Please add a blurb telling what a teacher should do with this or if it's connected to a particular lesson, please say so. What will the students be doing during this presentation? user:Anny1

I agree with Lizzie's comments. We need more information in order to use this plan. user:Anny1

Unit Test Comments
Please feel free to comment! user:L2teach user:perrycheer01 user:WhitneyLynnMSU

Whitney - the reading portion of the test is excellent - I am SO impressed! For the listening portion that I wrote, I'm not sure how many times the class should be able to listen to the dialogue. Let's talk about that in class tomorrow. I'm thinking 2-3 times sounds about right, but could use your insight. user:L2teach
