Curriculum Unit this week

I found that this is an interesting project.  Though, at times, a few of the applications we were given are very similar.  E-sheets and trackstar seem to be the same thing to me, but maybe I'm just not reading them correctly.  I'm struggling a bit because I don't currently develop lessons.  I'm teaching a very scripted reading intervention program, so I don't have lessons to create.  The other years that I taught reading, we didn't have a curriculum, really, or a text, so the reading teachers in the district more or less made up what they were doing every day.  It sounds horrible of me, but I really didn't plan units out, because we didn't have units to teach to, or any guidance on how to teach a unit.  So, I'm struggling somewhat with creating a unit.  I did read the book Drive-by by Lynne Ewing to my students.  It's a great story.  Short chapters, cliffhangers at the end of every chapter, attention-holding, and relevant (though terms are a bit dated) because it revolves around gangs.  We talked a lot about gangs and their effects, because many of my students live in areas with gangs.  I really should have developed something better for them at the time.  I also struggle with this concept, because the majority of my students have little exposure to computers outside of school, so doing this would not be a very viable thing.  Few of our students have computers at home, so trying to navigate and explore websites would take an extreme amount of time, and pre-teaching.  We want our kids to be technologically adept and capable, but in certain areas, kids don't have the technologies at hand.  It would be great to have a blog, and require kids to use it and post, but few would be able to complete assignments at home, due to the fact that they don't have access.  That would be a lot of work for very few kids.
