Unit 1 is DONE

My first unit plan has been submitted! Initially, when I was writing the plan, I was nervous and confused. I was struggling and had no idea where to start. The unit I chose to workout was Plumbing. I will be teaching plumbing for about 3 weeks in The Intro to Ag Mech course at Pequea Valley. I picked this unit because we recently did a copper square project in AEE 350 so the idea of that project was fresh in my mind.

Typically I wouldn't plan a unit around a project but since I was struggling to pick one plumbing seemed like a good start. At first daily objectives were impossible for me to come
up with. But as I began writing them and pulling from resources it became a lot easier. Another area I struggle with was coming up with accommodations and adaptions for gifted and exceptional students. But an idea I got from my workforce ed class was I can assign gifted students as helpers and have them assist other students so they are part of the learning.

It was nice to get reviews from my peers before submitting the final draft. They were able to pick up on some mistakes that I overlooked and provided areas of improvement. It was great to hear about areas where I did well, so that really boosted my confidence in writing a unit plan. I'm glad that the first one is out of the way and looking forward to writing my other units with more confidence!
