10/31 - My suggestions regarding your essential question is to pair it down (it lists the items that are really part of the unit questions) simplify it to "How does our environment shape our lives" - very broad over arching. Then your Unit questions contain the content you to cover. this looks very thorough, continue to develop your rubrics. You explain much in here -- it appears that it is actually longer then 3 days - you mention four days of research. It might be nice to prepare an assessment activity or checklist that students use for peer evaluation as they view the final presentations. Also you did not complete the instructional procedure -- step by step lesson plan (it is described somewhat in the assessment descriptions). Nice job on this. cj
