Units 4 and  5:  Writing Assignment - Curriculum Mapping This is a two week assignment that you will begin in Unit 4 and complete in Unit 5. Select a topic that you plan to implement over a two-week time span, during units 4 and 5. Using Udelhofen’s Curriculum Mapping Template (Fig. 3.1. page 30 in Keys To Curriculum Mapping )as a model, create a curriculum map using your knowledge of the following:

•selecting appropriate curriculum for the age and grade level of the learners •sequencing the order of presentation of the curriculum •organizing content and activities within the curriculum •establishing priorities for assessment

•Refer to the Curriculum Map Samples (found in Doc Sharing) to help guide you through the process.

Write a 200 word essay that describes the value of your curriculum map. Answer the following questions in your essay:How can your curriculum map be used to teach your chosen lesson topic? What would you change if and when you use this topic again based on the mapping of the curriculum?
