I would like my curriculum unit to to focus on our country's founding documents, specifically, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. One of the main ideas will be for students to understand both the importance and relevance of the documents as it relates to the students.

The unit I plan to build is based on the standard ecosystem material taught in schools. However, as I plan to be a teacher in Missouri, I want to avoid using the examples in textbooks as they often are not accessible to students who aren’t regularly coming into contact with the landscapes and animals being described. I plan instead to use Missouri’s Natural Communities in the lectures and assignments as local examples of these systems and concepts that are required content in the ecology units in Freshman Biology courses. I would also plan an integrated field trip to a local natural area or park to do an experiment or project that measures these factors.

I would like to do a unit involving Quadratic Equations and solving real world problems involving optimization of pricing and cost/profit comparisons with these equations. I think it would be a great way for students to see how these equations compare to their everyday lives in ways that they may not have thought of yet.

I would love to do a unit over Arthur Miller's "The Crucible".The goal of reading the play would be to allow students to understand the key differences between basic novels and dramas. Along with this, we would work towards analyzing theme, allegory, and symbolism within the play. Before and after reading, we would also discuss how the play relates to real historical events such as the Salem witch trials and the Red Scare.

Over the next unit we will be covering cellular levels of organization and human body systems. Further down the road we will cover genetics and punnet squares. A goal that I hope to accomplish with my students is that they will know the five levels of organization: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems and whole organisms: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems and whole organisms.

I'm thinking about doing a unit based on evolution. The idea being using Missouri learning standard 6-8.LS1.B.1. which is "Construct an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors as well as specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively."  This alongside standard 6-8.LS1.B.2. "Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how
environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of
organisms." would be some great standards to base a curriculum unit on. This alongside writing breaks will help students understand how organisms change over time and adapt to better survive in their environment.

For my 11th grade literature class I would like to focus a poetry unit on Civil Rights.  A goal that I would like students to be able to accomplish is to deconstruct, analyze, and relate Civil Rights era poetry to current events.

An idea I would like to investigate in a unit: Acids/Bases

Goal: Students will differentiate between an acid and a base.  Further, they will know the Arrhenius definition, differentiate between a Lewis acid/base, and differentiate between a Bronstead-Lowry acid/base

For my curriculum unit I'd like to focus on the book Of Mice and Men. For this unit I will also be focusing on theme. By the end of the unit students will be able to create their own theme. We will also discuss symbolism and style.

I would really like to explore plants more in a unit. I would like to cover how they pollinate in so many different ways, and how important they are and their pollinators. With this I would love to have my student out in a field actually observing and writing down their observation of pollinators.

A topic that I would like to cover in my unit is literature from the 21st century. Specific formative and summative assignments will be focused on speaking and listening ELA standards. I am looking to center the unit specifically on the novel The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. It is a unit that I will be teaching second semester of student teaching, and I believe creating this unit now will give me a jumpstart into full time student teaching next semester. This novel will open the doorway for discourse and debate in the classroom, a necessary skill in the real world and in post-secondary school.

The topics/ideas that I am considering using for the Curriculum unit is trigonometry, congruence, and circles. My favorite topic that I will probably end up focusing on is trigonometry because I find it to be incredibly interesting and believe that I can find great resources to guide me in creating a great curriculum unit for this topic.

I would love to explore the ideas of biodiversity and environmental change that is happening in the world around us. Discussing what factors and events effect different ecosystems is important for young people to understand. Understanding biodiversity can help to engage students within their own ecosystems
in order to better take care of it for future generations.

Important ideas I want to cover, especially with what is happening currently would be topics such as political propaganda, election processes, as well as the foundation of what America was built on. I feel these topics are so relevant always and just basics we need to know as citizens. Knowing our foundations, when they are taught to the core as much as possible, opens up a world of discovery and "ahhh" moments when studying American History. It also helps understand important moments to come such as elections. I also would love to focus on social rights / justice movements as they play a huge part in politics today.
