Unity Definitions/ Organization
To start understanding Unity, we will begin by looking at Unity 60 1-hit. The same
principles can be applied to 45 1-hit or 84 1-hit.
Row 1 is the
main activity row.
•
Activity rows contain vocabulary specific to certain situations.
•
Some keys in the main activity row do not open other activities. These keys are tools.
There are two tools in row 1—the choose ACTIVITY key at the beginning, and the
PAGES key at the end. The rest of the top row keys open activities.
Rows 2 through 5 contain
core words.
•
Core words
are words that people of all ages use frequently across situations and
environments.
•
Each core word in the 1-hit Unity versions requires only one keystroke.
Tools in core:
•
The second Mother Hubbard key is a plural tool and adds “s” to any word on the
display.
•
The NUMBERS key opens a page of numbers
•
The CLEAR key at the bottom left is for clearing your display.
Color coding
•
