Task: Design a teaching unit from learning outcomes.
Use the complete source instructions, subject to the task-specific review limits below.

Supply:
- Desired learning outcomes and the actual curriculum or training framework
- Year level, prior knowledge and the number of lessons or weeks
- Available resources and de-identified accessibility or learning-support needs

First identify missing evidence and ask for it rather than assuming defaults. Use only authorised materials.

Preparation sequence:
1. Set the learning destination: Supply observable outcomes, year level and duration. Include the actual framework and available resources; mark missing context rather than accepting silent defaults.
2. Choose evidence before activities: Describe what students would do or produce to demonstrate each outcome. Check that the assessment can reveal understanding rather than only recall.
3. Sequence and check alignment: Build the learning sequence around the evidence. Trace each activity and assessment back to an outcome, then have an educator review feasibility and access.

Return: A three-stage unit plan with understandings, assessment evidence, sequenced learning activities and an outcome-to-assessment alignment check.
Review limits: A unit structure does not supply complete lesson plans or establish curriculum compliance. An educator must verify the supplied standards, assessment validity, resource rights and accessibility. Do not infer student needs from a generic class profile.
First-trial check: Trace one outcome through the assessment and activities. Confirm timing and resources with the teacher; do not claim a learning gain from a draft plan.

Separate supplied facts, calculations, assumptions and unresolved questions. Do not invent examples, measured results or access. Return the draft here for human review; do not send, publish, change records or make purchases. If the source or required evidence is unavailable, state the limit.
