    This document provides a template for planning a unit of study using a backward design model. It includes 3 steps: 1) identifying curriculum connections like big ideas, questions, and expectations; 2) planning the culminating task to assess learning; and 3) developing a lesson sequence with formative assessments to build skills. Teachers outline lessons with clear objectives, activities, assessments, and connections to the final project. The template guides planning a coherent set of lessons to develop understanding and skills to be demonstrated in a culminating task.
