Throughout the unit students will be asked to participate in various classroom activities and partner with one another. This will allow for students to feed off of one another's skill levels and expertise. Much of the instructional information will be presented to the students by using a projector in whole group discussion forum. However during the skills application portion of class students will be in groups of no more than 3 per group. For the activities these students will be doing, there will be multiple parts, so it will allow for all students to keep busy throughout the application process.
Implementation of writing skills will also be instructed in regards to persuasive writing. Students will be given a rubric to follow for all written assignments done in class. The rubric will include the structural integrity of the essay as well as the content within the written assignment as well.
Computer skills will also be implemented in order to allow students to present their information found on specific medications. These skills will also be used to generate their presentations to the class on a medication of their choice. Close reading protocol will also be implemented throughout the unit to give students a better overall understanding of the subject matter.
