Methods+04--Thematic+Unit




 * ===A thematic unit is a unit of study that spans several lessons. All of the lessons are based off of one theme or subject, but have different aspects to them. Generally in ESL we use thematic units to teach content area subject matter and English language simultaneously. ===

For more information on thematic units, please see these resources:

===The thematic unit that I have posted here is called //Paws to consider: a lesson on canine genetics//. It ties genetics and heredity in with English language learning. Students research the traits of 20 breeds of dogs, then pick two dogs and make a Punnett sqare of how the two dogs' offspring will look.===
