Save Valuable Prep Time with Mirrors & Windows

Looking for planning and pacing guides to help plan your daily lessons? Mirrors & Windows makes it easy.
• Visual Planning Guides are located before each unit. Approximate days of teaching the selection are indicated in this section. Lesson-by-Lesson Resources for each selection are indicated visually for additional support.
• Following the Visual Planning Pages, you will find a Scope & Sequence. This breaks down the selection features, indicating the reading support, word count, literary elements, writing options, and extension activities. You can use this page to determine what lessons you will want to incorporate into your instruction for that selection.
• The Lesson Planner CD allows the teacher to populate all the various lessons within each selection. It also automatically incorporates a “pacing guide” indicating what can be taught on day 1 of selection, day 2, and so on. You can then edit, removing lessons you do not want to teach, or add additional resources located outside the M&W program. See below.
