Putting Into Practice

• Review the STEM Literacy Project Unit Plan Template, and make a copy to edit.
• Focus on one unit of instruction you will be teaching this year.
• Consider these questions:
  -What is the rationale of the unit? Why is it important?
  -What goals do you have for what students will learn and do in this unit? 
  -Why does this lesson/content/focus matter in the larger scheme of life?
  -What areas might this lead to for issues, problems, questions?
• Select 1-2 lessons from this unit of instruction to focus on. How might these align with the attributes of STEM literacy lessons?
• What areas does this lesson/content/focus connect to beyond your curriculum (math, science, literacy).
• Connect to Standards.
• Share progress with your Think-Pair-Square groups.
