UNIT AND LESSON TEMPLATE GUIDE In order to facilitate a program to design curriculum, unit and lesson plans, the following diagram was developed to show the relationship between “Curriculum”, “Unit”, and “Lesson” as defined by STARTALK. Definitions of terms are included at the end of this document for additional reference. GLOSSARY OF TERMS 1. Curriculum: An aggregate plan of study that maps out content, scope, sequence and levels of learning for a given subject matter. It outlines desired results regarding what a learner needs to know and be able to do upon reaching the end of the plan of study. This plan could span an entire degree program, a school year, a semester or academic term, a course, or a stand-alone program. In STARTALK, a curriculum refers to the program level plan of study. 2. Unit: A thematic organizer of a subset of the curriculum to be completed in a specific period of time. In a unit, topics are related and learning activities are logically sequenced to achieve stated objectives. A unit usually consists of a series of lessons which include instruction, practice, application and assessment. 3. Lesson: A building block of a unit that has clearly defined objectives to be achieved within a specified time frame. A lesson makes content accessible and should be designed and implemented in ways that are appropriate for students and reflect principles of second language acquisition. 1 UNIT TEMPLATE Description Unit Title/Subtheme 去中国旅行 Language 高中中文四级，学生为高中十一十二年级学生 Time Frame 五个星期，共15 节课，每节课75 分钟 学生可以： Interpretive modes: 1. 听懂关于中国地理气候等的口头介绍 2. 听懂关于旅行计划的口头介绍 3.
