HOW THE FOR THE LOVE OF AUTUMN UNIT IS ORGANIZED?

The unit will last between 3-5 days depending on how quickly your students read and how much of the unit you choose to use. You now have both digital using Google Slides and PDF options. You can pick and choose the parts you want to use and the order. However, my units are organized in a before, during, and after format. I typically project the part of the lesson I’m using to demonstrate my expectation and assign either the digital or print version for completion.
