Promoting the Importance of Unit Planning cont...

"First, unit planning stresses the holistic nature of learning: students see the big picture rather than
bits and pieces that do not seem to fit together. Second, the unit is the best level at which to integrate
the curriculum. Whereas individual lessons can be integrated, the unit structure, in its emphasis on
general concepts and themes, is a more effective vehicle for integration. Units also provide the best
means for emphasizing skills across the curriculum—reading, writing, and studying."

Standards Alignment
