8.There is time for revision and evaluation.
ASPECTS OF THE
YEAR PLAN
1.Formation of syllabus units
2. Reorganization of units.

UNIT PLAN
Concept of unit is
i)It should be homogeneous.
ii)There should be systematic
interweaving of various educational
activities ,learning experiences,
teaching aids and teaching content.
iii)The teaching of a unit should bring
desirable changes in pupils.
MEANING OF UNIT PLANNING
‘A unit plan is a plan for teaching which is
done after having considered various
factor such as ascertaining sub –units of
units after their in-depth study,
ascertaining the objectives and their
specifications of teaching points,
selecting proper learning experiences
,arranging for proper educational aids
and deciding about relevant evaluation
procedures for verifying changes in pupil-
behaviour ’ .
Considerations and
Procedures of a Unit Plan
“ A unit is a group of related concepts
from which a given set of
instructional and educational
experiences is desired.’’
-
Hoover
Thus a unit plan is developed after considering
various things as follows:
1.What is the objective of T-L of the unit?
2.Which Learning experiences are necessary for
achieving those objectives?
3.What activities will the teacher and the
learner undertake?
4.Which teaching aids will be required?
5.What should be the nature of the evaluation
procedure for verifying behavioral changes in
nature ?
