-A paragraph describing the work of a theorist whose beliefs help to support the use of this unit within this stage of development

At least one of you lesson plans should use a media source such as an audio book, book on video, or an online story
Explain how the objectives for your lessons measure concepts discussed in class (phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle,character, setting, plot, theme, etc)

Feel free to use some of the literature you included in your weekly discussions if they are appropriate to your them and stage development.
Create a plan for how you will share the literature that you are using with your students' families so they can support literacy acquistion. You could create a newsletter, plan a family literacy night, or even choose some idea from the Parent Literacy you created.
