Usually curriculum, unit plans and sometimes even suggested lesson plans (for pacing) are included in teacher's editions of textbooks. You can start with these as an outline and then incorporate your delivery methods, supplementing with specific points or reviews where needed or indicated. Take a look at a few of them to see what the common threads are for a particular subject/lesson/outcome. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel. Often school districts (if not yours google others) have detailed curriculum guidelines on line, which can help you with the overall scope and sequence of unit planning. Lastly, ask....ask....ask....a really good cooperating teacher should help mentor you through the steps.
You have a great opportunity here, don't let it pass you by. If you take these questions to your host teacher and learn the answers you are going to come out of college so much more prepared! Go to her and tell her exactly what you posted here. It's her job to teach you how to teach. What you do I. The classroom with the kids is only about 30% of the job. The rest is the stuff you are asking about here. So you need to glare it.
