You should include the name of the unit, the intended grade level, your name as author, your title, poition and location/affiliation. You should list the TEKS that are addressed by your unit and do a "save as" html. Name it newsKnezek.doc etc. where Knezek is replaced with your last name. Remember this is intended as a "hook" for fellow educators like yourself, so they will be interested enough in what they read to go look at your entire unit of instruction in depth.
