2. Curriculum Tracking Templates - Created by Brent Phillips, these links for grades K-8 will take you to specific tracking templates for each strand in each subject area. The easiest way to utilize these templates is to print a copy of each template from all of the strands you teach and then use them for planning your activities and curricular goals. The whole strand on one sheet! No more awkward and poorly organized curricular documents! These templates can also be used to provide the teacher with an overall picture of which expectations specific students have achieved, and at what level of performance. Excellent for tracking progress throughout the year for each student.
3. CyberGuides are Web-based activities and units centered around particular pieces of literature. CyberGuides are supplementary, standards-based, web-delivered units of instruction centered on core works of literature.

Note: many of these do not require higher level thinking. Use them as a model, but make improvements.
