How this Plan uses your files

The uploaded file is a two-page unit overview rather than a complete lesson sequence. It includes one concrete student-created output—the naʻau compass—but provides no procedure, investigation protocol, assessment, worksheet, video, equipment list, or URL. General statements about learning kūkuluokalani, winds, natural elements, kilo, cultural knowledge, and kūpuna wisdom are background descriptions rather than executable activities, so they are not represented as separate source tasks. No concrete source tasks were omitted.
