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.
