generalization.
5. For each subject area, write instructional
objectives to be accomplished.
6. Identify instructional activities which will
accomplish the objectives

5. 7. Based on the objectives, perform the
activities.
8. Conduct culminating activity where all
subject areas learning be applied.
9. Design a scoring guide rubric to assess
the performance of the task in the
culminating activity.
