Unit 1 Teacher's Guide — Personal Identity & Communication

Learning Objectives

• Identify which of the twelve unit resources to use for a given teaching need using the resource-by-resource table.
• Recognize and correctly address at least three of the five most common Grade 6 grammar errors specific to this unit's content.
• Apply at least two of the four sensitivity guidelines when facilitating personal-information sharing activities.

How to Use This Resource

• Read once before teaching the unit for the first time, then keep as a reference throughout — particularly the Common Student Errors section during grading, and the Teaching Sensitively section before Lesson 4 (the Speaking Activity), where students share the most personal information.

Differentiation

Support: The guide's sensitivity notes directly support Support-tier accommodations by explaining why flexible, non-mandatory sharing of personal details benefits all students, not only those with sensitive circumstances.
On-Level: The resource-by-resource table and common-errors section apply directly to standard delivery of the unit as sequenced in the Lesson Plan.
Challenge: The Extension Ideas section provides three ready-to-use activities specifically for fast finishers and advanced classes.

Teacher Tips

Read the "Common Student Errors" section before grading the Quiz (Resource 10) rather than after — several of the listed errors (especially possessive adjective/pronoun confusion and wh- question word order) are far easier to categorize consistently across a stack of papers when you already have the pattern in mind.
