Repeating vocabulary lists. Completing dictations. Reading stories silently. Writing short paragraphs with feedback. Repeating vocabulary lists.

A logical sequence of skills development should: Follow increasing cognitive demand. Ignore previous topics. Be identical for all learners. Prioritize teacher’s preference.

A key element of the unit plan is: Student attendance. School events calendar. Learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Institutional policies.
