**1.** ** Thematic Unit Brainstorming ** The next task is to design a Thematic Unit. A unit is a number of lessons or a chapter. A thematic unit is a series of lessons or a chapter evolving / covering a specific theme / topic. For example, you decide to teach your students to be able to communicate in different types of situtations they may come acros during and after a trip to England. So, you start planning: Before the trip: What would they need to be able to read and understand, listen and understand before the trip but related to the trip? What would they need to be able to write or in what circumstances would they need to speak before the trip but related to the trip? During the trip: What would they need to be able to read and understand, listen and understand during the trip? What would they need to be able to write or in what circumstances would they need to speak during the trip? Here's a brainstorming, trying to come up with some answers to the above questions. Study it carefully.
