Make ELA unit planning a breeze with this pack of customizable Google Doc unit and lesson planning templates. Use the Blank Unit Resources Template to gather digital and print resources that will make your units rich and exciting. Both the ELA Unit Overview Template and ELA Module Template will help you plot out your unit on a week-by-week basis. The Lesson Plan Thinking Sheet helps you develop a multi-step lesson that embeds 21st Century Skills and AVID skills while addressing equity goals. Also included is a Differentiation Planning Form (both in horizontal and vertical alignment) and a Writing Project Template. There are a total of 7 Google Doc planning forms as well as 2 completed sample unit documents in PDF form as examples.

I personally use these templates to help me develop rich ELA units for my 5th graders. I use the forms to record the resources I have on hand or can access online, determine which materials I will use with which group of students and when, and think through any other connections I can make by including AVID strategies, PBIS skills, World of Work connections, and opportunities for the visual and performing arts.
