“The maximum length for Assignment 2 is 11 pages, including the marking rubric and references. Please use the following approximate lengths for each section as a guide:
Rationale: 2–3 pages
Context and Curriculum Descriptors: 1 page
Sequence of Key Learning Activities: 2 pages
Assessment Task Sheet: 1 page
Assessment Marking Guide: 1 page
References: 1–2 pages”
Construct a detailed 10-week (one term) English curriculum unit plan that is based on the study of a literary text (e.g., the same novel, film, play or poem that was selected for Assignment 1) and includes a diverse range of reading, writing and multimodal text experiences.
The unit plan will need to include the following elements:
a. Rationale and unit overview, which make explicit links between the research literature, pedagogical approaches discussed in course readings and workshops (e.g. Multiliteracies Pedagogy, the Four Resources Model), and the Australian Curriculum: English v9.0.
b. A 10-week sequence of key learning experiences.
c. A culminating learning experience that can be assessed for summative purposes with an accompanying marking guide that allows students to demonstrate the key learning outcomes.
d. Evidence of planning alignment and catering for diverse learning needs throughout the unit plan.
Task Details
Using the literary text from your first assignment, develop a 10-week (one term) unit plan for a Year 5 or 6 English classroom. You will need to select several (between 4 and 7, depending on the unit focus) content descriptors from Australian Curriculum: English v9.0. Ensure that you have at least one descriptor from each of the three strands of Literacy, Language, and Literature.
Develop a learning experience that students will be asked to undertake at the conclusion of the unit and which can be used for summative assessment purposes. Ensure the learning experience allows students to demonstrate their learning against the Achievement standard and curriculum content descriptions. Construct an accompanying marking guide that clearly links to the curriculum outcomes.
Design a sequence of key learning activities over the duration of the unit. You may use your multimodal resource (from Assignment 1) as an introductory activity in Week 1. Remember that your learning activities need to clearly scaffold students’ learning in the course and provide your learners with opportunities to engage with a rich selection of texts. Learning experiences must link to the assessment task and curriculum objectives, as well as provide opportunities to cater to diverse learning needs in the classroom.
Finally, construct a written rationale that provides a clear set of justifications for your planning choices, linking the curriculum, research literature and the unit plan. This should include references, particularly where conceptual frameworks such as Multiliteracies Pedagogy and the Four Resources Model are being utilised.
please note that the literary text from my first assignment was ‘to the lighthouse’ by Cristy Burne. This assignment must be based on this story. https://cristyburne.com/resources/to-the-lighthouse-resources/
