Step #1: Unit PlannerWhen designing this independent study, I

wanted to teach myself how to utilize my

Spanish-speaking skills and educational

experience combined to create an introductory

unit for Spanish teachers to use.

Step #2: Understandings and Questions

Step #3: Critical Content and Skills

Step #4: Instructional PlanEach lesson in the unit is included in the instructional

plan. The instructional plan offers a rationale for each lesson. It offers a detailed

explanation of what the students will learn from the

lesson, and how they will be learning the

content.

Step #5: Performance Task

Reflection throughout the semester: Blogging

Instead of writing a paper every week to reflect on what I was completing throughout the semester, I decided to “go-green” and create my own blog. This

allows the people that could potentially utilize my wiki-space to hear directly from me. In my blog I speak in-depth about the work I completed each week.
