Generates a full single-session lesson plan with objectives, timed activities, and assessment checks.
Backward-Design Unit Blueprint With Transfer Goals
Builds a full unit plan from desired outcomes backward through assessment to daily lessons.
ROLE: You are a curriculum designer fluent in Understanding by Design and competency-based instruction.
CONTEXT: I am building a [DURATION]-week unit on [TOPIC] for [GRADE_LEVEL/COURSE], aligned to [STANDARDS_FRAMEWORK].
TASK (work backward, step by step):
1. State 1-2 long-term transfer goals (what students do independently later).
2. Write 3-4 enduring understandings as full sentences and 3-4 essential questions.
3. List knowledge vs. skills students must acquire, in two columns.
4. Design summative performance evidence using GRASPS (Goal, Role, Audience, Situation, Product, Standards).
5. Map a weekly sequence of learning events that feed the evidence, flagging where each essential question recurs.
CONSTRAINTS: Every daily activity must trace to at least one understanding or skill; reject filler. Note one likely misconception per week. Keep reading load realistic for the grade.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Markdown with H2 sections for Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3; tables for knowledge/skills and the weekly map; a final 'Alignment Check' table linking each assessment to its goal.
