MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Begin by identifying the essential question(s) students will need to be able to answer upon completion of the Unit.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Next, identify Enduring questions that students should contemplate as they complete this Unit Workflow and the rest of the course.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Next, identify the appropriate content standards which comport with the Essential and Enduring questions

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Identify topical questions and key understandings to further develop content

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Create a Unit Workflow of sequential activities that students will engage in. In evaluating your course, you can add, delete or move activities

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
The Key below identifies Absorb/Do and Connect activities used to teach the Unit.

ABSORB ACTIVITIESAbsorb Activities are those which consist of content and the actions they take to extract and comprehend knowledge from that content.Examples of absorb activities include presentations, stories, readings and online field trips.

DO ACTIVITIESDo Activities are those that transform content into knowledge and skills.
Examples of Do Activities include drill-practice activities and games/simulations.

CONNECT ACTIVITIESConnect Activities integrate content with what students already know, tying together previously learned skills and knowledge.Examples of Connect Activities include questioning, pondering, research and original works activities.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Excursions are ‘side trips’ for those students wishing to delve further into the content.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Techniques are useful tools for those students that need to master skills needed to complete Unit activities.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
List Key Concepts to the right. This is a summary of the content students need to understand and be able to apply at the end of the Unit.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
Note the downward movement from Essential/Enduring Questions into the identification of content standards and development of content to be learned.

MAPPING ONLINE UNIT WORKFLOW
This movement continues in the Unit Workflow where activities are sequenced to teach the content.
