Objectives
- Using Content Standards from at least two additional subject areas, identify any that already exist in the revised lesson/unit plan by highlighting and labeling them using the Review tab in Microsoft Word.
- Using the revised lesson/unit plan, generate a minimum of 3 additional standards from two additional content areas by creating a final, revised version of the original instructional activity(ies).
