Going from broad to specific. Really focus on the tasks, language functions and structure patterns. Creating task that are authentic for interpersonal, presentational and  interpretive. Finding authentic resources to use in the classroom that are aligned with our TEKS and unit plans was enjoyable and time consuming.
