This document outlines a hybrid learning model unit plan that uses both face-to-face and online activities. The unit focuses on developing classroom rules and involves students working in groups to discuss existing rules, research other examples, draft their own rules, and create a multimedia presentation to communicate the rules. Key activities include online discussions, viewing other groups' work, a web conference with another class, and using various apps and tools to design a final presentation. The plan spans 7-8 lessons and aims to engage students through choice of technologies, asynchronous contributions, and opportunities for feedback and reflection on their work and the unit goals.
