Multiple "Units" on One Day

Danielle Hill

I do the same starter/skill buidling activities with my classes each day. I would like to create a 2nd lesson or unit that is not locked into the other unit on a date.

If multiple units can't run simultaneously (I teach four different classes and do not want to end up with 12 to differentiate activities, but I see the coding issue), then maybe there could be a way to not have all assignments attached to that unit. If I move a poetry unit to a different week, for example, I would still like the warm-up lesson to stay where it was.

Additionally, as a work around, it would be nice to be able to tag days as being part of a unit rather than having a continuous unit of a week, etc.

I agree. I have a 90 minute block of ELA that I break into Reading, Writing, and Grammar. It would be nice if I could have my units run at the same time without having a mess with nesting underneath the first unit.

Sara Province: Yup! Back when we were starting Cc 8 years ago, this was the example I kept thinking of. When I taught, I did the same. The solution to this in Cc is to create three separate classes:

Reading: Comprehension/Literacy
Reading: Writing
Reading: Grammar

In every design we tried, it was just sooo confusing to have multiple parts (e.g. reading, writing, grammar) be in the same Cc class. I'd love if we could come up with a better solution than we have now, but for teachers in K-5 where this happens the most, splitting them out is our best recommendation.

Merged in a post:

Create overlapping units within a class as opposed to nesting.

I teach music and drama to the same classes on different days of the week. I'd rather be able to track both subjects in one "class" than create two separate classes. Eg: I'd have a Rhythm Unit going that I could assign the Grade 4 class' Tuesday lesson to, and the Mime Unit that I could assign their Thursday Lesson to...

Thanks for the suggestion, Danielle!

Yes! I don't do different units on the same day, but I often do over the same week. Multiple units running concurrently (not nested 'sub-units') for one class would be amazing!
