No-Prep Lesson: Weekly Plan Digital Learning

Everything is included for a full week's unit for distance learning in your secondary ELA classroom! I have tailored each weekly unit to your secondary students' needs with an engaging focus and reading materials. This is a simple, copy + paste unit that you can utilize with your online learning management software such as Google Classroom or Canvas. 

You can find a video preview of how these weekly units work in the preview for this file. 

I know that Distance Learning can be difficult and overwhelming, that's why I've planned these lessons, materials, and instructions to free up your valuable time! 

This particular unit focuses on the future of medical science, artificial intelligence, and more! The skill focus is note taking in order to create independent, succesful learners (what's important to write down, how to summarize, how to add in commentary/analysis) - students are provided with a presentation, a video, and several practice activities to understand this very valuable "Building Block" skill. Students will also have an informational text article to work through about futuristic medical technology, a short story about a dystopian society in the year 2081, multiple choice-writing activities, a vocabulary list, a creative project, and more!
