They are all geared towards structuring lessons around the students’ needs through detailed instruction. By detailing every lesson in the unit they can have a base goal with meaningful objectives to either stick with or adapt to each lesson. 10. I honestly agree with all of them because I do not think there is a right or wrong way to construct a unit plan as long as it contains all of the necessary goals, objectives, materials, reflections, etc. that every unit plan has. The teacher is the sole mediator of the class and with practice and precision knows what the students’ individual needs are.

 * 5) I chose these three because they varied upon grade, lesson, and layout.
 * 6) The one that appealed to me the most was the first one I chose, Understanding the Holocaust. My initial interest was sparked by the subject; the book //Night// being a great book for people, especially twelfth graders, to learn historical, as well as grammatical, knowledge from. After reading the lesson, I found ways I would set up and organize my own lesson plan.
 * 7) Although I do like the third unit set up, I did not like the “circle the number on the spectrum” graph. I feel many students either weigh too high or low in one direction, or completely stay neutral. Also, they breaking down into groups might be distracting for some students. The smaller the groups the better for direct discussion without sidetracking.
 * 8) They all outline goals, daily plans, rubrics, and objectives. They are different because each teacher has their own means of grading, teaching, and what their individual needs of the class are.
 * 9) As far as unit plans go, they can only be so similar and different in so many ways. There has to be the structure of objectives, reflection, goals, etc… but as far as how it is presented is what is differentiated.
