Brave New World
The studies show that providing students with learning targets before lessons will help students develop a deeper understanding of the
material and learning targets. Keeping in mind that we are focusing on skills as well as information, I have provided a list to help you
assess your own learning as part of this unit. Each lesson is designed to help you become a better reader, writer, and thinker.
