Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a template. Identify the unit titles within the curriculum. Create learning goals for each unit. Write essential questions for each unit. Prepare appropriate learning experiences. Include a plan for assessments.

Answer: Curricula are usually graphically organized in a way that includes a space for each component. Some institutions ask educators to use a standardized template, so find out what is expected of you. If no template is provided, find one online or create your own template. This will help you keep your curriculum organized and presentable. Units, or themes, are the main topics that will be covered in the curriculum. Organize your brainstorm or state standards into unified sections that follow a logical sequence. Units can cover big ideas like love, planets, or equations, and important topics like multiplication or chemical reactions. The number of units varies by curriculum and they can last anywhere between one week and eight weeks. A unit title can be one word or a short sentence. A unit about character development, for example, could be called, "Creating deep characters." Learning goals are the specific things that students will know and be able to do by the end of the unit. You already gave this some thought when you first brainstormed ideas for the class, now you have to be more specific. As you write your learning goals, keep important questions in mind. What does the state require students to know? How do I want my students to think about this topic? What will my students be able to do? Often, you can pull learning goals right from common core standards. Use SWBAT (Students will be able to). If you get stuck, try starting each learning goal with "Students will be able to" This works for both skills and content knowledge. For example, "Students will be able to provide a two-page written analysis of the reasons behind the Civil War." This requires students to both know information (causes of the Civil War) and do something with the information (written analysis). Every unit needs 2-4 general questions that should be explored throughout the unit. Essential questions guide students to understand the more important parts of the theme. Essential questions are often big, complex questions that can't always be answered in one lesson. For example, an essential question for a middle school unit about fractions might be, "Why doesn't using division always make things smaller?" An essential question for a unit on character development might be, "How does a person's decisions and actions reveal aspects of their personality?" Once you have an organized set of units, you can begin to think about what kinds of materials, content, and experiences students will need in order to gain an understanding of each theme. This can be covered by the textbook you will use, texts you plan to read, projects, discussions, and trips. Keep your audience in mind. Remember that there are many ways for students to acquire skills and knowledge. Try to choose books, multimedia, and activities that will engage the population you are working with. Students need to be evaluated on their performance. This helps the student know if they were successful in understanding the content, and it helps the teacher know if they were successful in delivering the content. Additionally, assessments help the teacher determine if any changes need to be made to the curriculum in the future. There are many ways to assess student performance, and assessments should be present throughout each unit. Use formative assessments. Formative assessments are usually smaller, more informal assessments that provide feedback on the learning process so you can make changes to the curriculum throughout the unit. Although formative assessments are usually a part of the daily lesson plan, they can also be included in the unit descriptions. Examples include journal entries, quizzes, collages, or short written responses. Include summative assessments. Summative assessments occur once a full topic has been covered. These assessments are appropriate for the end of a unit or at the end of the course. Examples of summative assessments are tests, presentations, performances, papers, or portfolios. These assessments range from touching on specific details to answering essential questions or discussing larger themes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove any damaged, soiled, or imperfect leaves or stems. Check the herbs for insects. Rinse the herbs in cold water, shaking off the excess. Blot the herbs dry with a clean towel.

Answer: Check each leaf or stalk for ruined pieces. Soiled herbs will have a bad taste, which could ruin the dish you season with your herbs. Insects are common in an herb garden, but you don't want them to get into your batch of dried herbs. Inspect each leaf for visible signs of insects, such as crawling bugs, webbing, or white spots that could be eggs. If you see these signs, throw that leaf or stalk away. The oven will treat the herbs for anything too small for you to see. It's best to use running water so that any dirt and debris flows away from the herbs. Allow the water to run over them for a few seconds, then gently shake them to expel the excess water. Place the damp herbs on a dry towel. If you have larger herbs, you could rinse them in a colander. Use another dry towel, gently pressing it over the herbs. Once the herbs are dry, transfer them to another dry towel or dish.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a good first impression. Use the right body language. Wear the right colors.

Answer: First impressions are formed almost automatically when two people meet for the first time. These judgments are made quickly, based on behavior, dress, appearance, and anything that is said during the meeting. By making a good impression, you can help increase your chances of getting a date when you ask. First impressions can be hard to change. Looking good and dressing clean can help leave a good impression. Greet people with confidence and make eye contact to show self-assurance. Your first few words are important. Try to say something that demonstrates your character and shows intelligence. There are many non-verbal methods that you can use to convey your interest in the person you are speaking with. By using these in conjunction with your verbal conversation, you can help express your confidence and let the other person know that you find them interesting Keep your shoulders back and stand up straight. Occasionally, you can tip your head to the side or nod to show interest. Smile. As you are talking with the other person wear an easy smile. However, smiling too much or too little can be off putting. Stand closer than you normally would to someone you aren't interested in. Make eye contact. Avoid staring, but make enough eye contact to show self-confidence and demonstrate you are paying attention. Speak slowly and relaxed. Don't be in a hurry when talking and leave a bit of a pause when the other person is done speaking. If you plan on going out to look for a date or are expecting to meet a new group of people, you should consider what colors you are going to wear. Color can have an effect on people and leave a certain impression, depending on which hue you are wearing. Make sure the colors you have on when looking for a potential date are sending the right messages. Men who wear blue are often perceived by women as being stable and loyal. Women who wear red can appear as being passionate and powerful by men. Grey can leave the impression of neutrality and quietness, which might not be ideal when looking for a date.
