Plan a multi-week unit backward from standards and the final assessment

Help me plan a unit using backward design: start from what students must be able to do, then the evidence, then the lessons. Subject, grade or course level: [e.g. "9th grade biology", "intro macroeconomics, first-year undergrads"] Standards or course outcomes to cover: [PASTE STANDARD CODES/TEXT OR OUTCOMES] Unit length: [e.g. "15 class periods of 50 minutes"] What students already know: [PRIOR UNITS, COMMON GAPS] Required materials or texts: [TEXTBOOK CHAPTERS, LABS, RESOURCES] Constraints: [e.g. "state test in May", "no lab access week 2", "mixed-ability class"] Work in three stages: 1. Desired results: 2-3 enduring understandings, 3-5 essential questions, and what students will know and be able to do. Map each to the standards I gave; do not add standards I did not list. 2. Evidence: one summative performance task (with a short student-facing prompt) plus 3-4 formative checkpoints placed through the unit. 3. Learning plan: a day-by-day sequence. For each day: objective, key activity, how I'll check understanding, and homework if any. Checks: - Every summative skill is taught and practiced before it is assessed. - Cognitive demand rises across the unit (not all recall, not all analysis on day 1). - Build in at least one buffer/reteach day and one review day. Return: the Stage 1-2 content as short lists, then the daily plan as a table: Day | Objective | Activity | Check for understanding | Materials. Flag anything that looks too ambitious for the time available.
