Understanding by Design

Introduction

Below you will find my plan for the first unit that my French II students study each year. The overarching theme of this unit of study is leisure and entertainment activities throughout the Canadian province of Québec. The framework of the design is taken from Understanding by Design by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe.
