# Creating a Unit

A unit is an instructional guide to teaching concepts and skills aligned with the broader course objectives. For example, in the 11th Grade English Language Arts course, you might have a unit titled “Unit 1: The Power of Persuasion” that teaches students about rhetoric. In this unit, students learn key terms, identify rhetorical techniques, and explore examples of persuasive texts.

## Quick Guide

1. Select **Courses**.
2. From the **Courses**list, select the course to which you want to add the unit.
3. In the toolbar above the calendar or list view, select **Add Units**.
4. Enter a **Unit Title**.
5. Select a **Unit Date Range** using the calendar selector.
6. The **Duration** field automatically updates to match the number of days in the selected date range. If you adjust the number in the **Duration** field, the end date in the **Unit Date Range** also changes.
7. To add more units, select **Add Another Unit**. Complete the fields and repeat as needed.
8. Select **Done**.
