FINAL UNIT PLAN DRAFTS AND REVISIONS-AG - Here you will find all of my drafts and final revisions for my unit plan

 * (10/18)** After a discussion with my CT I came up with two possible units for each content area. My CT uses the topics listed in Cmapp to plan her units. I looked at the site and found the units that correspond with my time at the school. I looked at the ideas and suggestions listed and came up with my own themes. The topics and themes I put an star by are the ones I would like to peruse. I feel that I could do a lot with these topics. I plan on discussion these with my CT and working out the details.
