  • written clear learning objectives to establish what students will need to know and produce by the end of the unit?
  • looked at my lesson sequences to see how the knowledge builds from one lesson to another?
  • planned deliberate opportunities throughout my unit for students to show me that they remember this information?
  • developed lesson activities that allow students to show their knowledge in different ways?
  • given students multiple opportunities to recall information before I assess them on it?
