Literature Unit Plan This unit plan should focus on one specific literary work appropriate to secondary teaching. It should incorporate reader response and cultural studies philosophies and activities and draw, in some way, on the internet. Your unit plan needs to include: 1) A description of the cultural studies approach you plan to take to the literary work you have chosen. This could include description of additional literary or non-fiction work your students will read or ideas on how your study of this literary work will be contextualized. Identify the anticipated grade level and course in which you would teach this unit. 2) An overview or "syllabus" of the lessons and activities that will comprise your unit. 3) A description of a final paper or project or cumulative activity that students will engage in. Include a rubric as to how this project will be assessed. 4) A complete lesson plan for at least one class period that emphasizes a reader response activity. Please follow the Lesson Plan Format I have posted on the web. 5. Reference relevant State of Michigan Content Standards. Set your standards high, but clearly explain how you will scaffold to support students with low reading levels and special needs. Here is an sample unit plan you can study created by Chris Kato in Spring 2008. Created by: allen.webb@wmich.edu
