//**Our Presentations & Handouts**// UbD Templates (doc)

 * //a better alignment between the standards you identify for the unit and the Acquisition section in Stage One where you want to unpack the standards into Learning Targets. This way you can have each standard side-by-side with the Learning Targets (the Know & Do parts) of your UbD.//
 * //a three-column section for simply identifying necessary Vocabulary at the end of Stage One.//
 * //a separate area at the bottom of the entire UbD (under Stage Three) where you can cut and paste other standards you identify as Support Standards, but you aren't planning on unpacking step by step for the unit.//
