I have redone sections of the book rationale, parts of my unit plan (still in progress), and part of the final section of my 409 research paper. I believe you may enjoy my rdng 311 autobiography and if you get the time, you may also like my rationale/summative assessment for my curriculum 305 unit. Any and all revisions are written in blue.

I have not managed to fix my unit as much as I would have liked to. I have come to realize that I either need to completely re-do it or do a different subject. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me think of a way to integrate lessons on assimilation with the exception of the papers and discussions I have already implemented. Integrated lessons are very necessary, but most activities and such that I could apply I fear also have potential of singling out a student or in some way breaking their trust. So for me, I believe I will keep that as an open unit that I will continue to pick away at as I learn more during student teaching. Overall my unit has what I consider a fantastic topic and I like my formative assessment as a fun skit. I wouldn't mind a few more fun activities, but all in all I think my unit failed due to its presentation and due to its lack of integrated lessons. I am very proud of my collaborative unit with John, Katelyn and Ashley, and I intend to continue to improve my summative assessment. When I started it, I knew I might struggle more, the reason being that I tend to prefer work on units and lessons that leave more room for creativity than this unit gave me. This will act as a good learning experience for me, namely on keeping a good presentation and not getting complacent in my lessons.
