What have we updated for the 2026 curriculum?
This template has had a total overhaul due to the extensive changes in the layout & formatting of the new 2025/2026 curriculum. 
We have included both Knowledge and Practices on each unit plan. 
Due to the more than doubling of the content, the new unit plan templates are longer than before. 
We have provided a combined Writing and Oral Language version. 
If you don’t want the Oral Language in your Writing unit plan, you can simply delete the table. This will shorten the document.
