Unit Planning
Unit of Learning - An organised series of learning activities and materials that key in on a specific topic related to the curriculum as a whole. For example, a unit on the solar system within the science curriculum could include textbook content, a visit to the planetarium, a movie on the planets, creation of the planets from paper mache balls, etc. The use of many and varied activities is believed to provide a more in-depth look at the subject area and an enhancement of learning through high-interest activities. (The Cyclopedic Education Dictionary LB 15 S73 1998 EDUC RF)
Lesson Planning
