Global Education Unit Plan
The unit plan I created as part of the
Teachers for Global Classrooms course is entirely based on a unit
that I had done many times before in my 12th grade composition
course. I simply updated the focus of the project to include the
UN's Sustainable Development Goals and increased student engagement
through interest and local action.
