Instructional Action
1. Knowledge in the disciplines Students connect linguistic
concepts and information about foreign language and culture
including the classical world and Latin to the students current
world and language. Students are prompted to quantify what
they know about their own language and use that information to
support linguistic concepts. Students are asked to compare
foreign language samples to English. Students discover how
modern Romance languages come from Latin and other ways
that the Roman world persists in the modern world.
2. Staircase of Complexity Students read level appropriate
passages around which instruction is centered. Activities are
scaffold and broken down into steps so that students are

supported at every level and taught the problem solving

necessary to respond to a particular prompt.
Text-based Answers Students will begin to organize
information and draw conclusions about communication (i.e.
animal, computer, and human) and language (first languages and
foreign languages). Students will participate in thoughtful
activities including role-plays and games, as well as watch
videos and read texts, about which they will make observations
and engage in discussions and reflections in order to draw
conclusions.
Coherence Students build a foundation for learning a foreign
language. Activities will meet students at their current level and
intrinsic understanding of language and build to a higher level,
where students will be able to articulate their understanding of
key concepts in writing and speech as well as skillsets that they
will use to tackle foreign language study. Students will be
prompted to demonstrate their understanding of key concepts by
answering short answer questions in writing and discussion.
Students will learn linguistic patterns to look for in the learning
of a second language.
Fluent Understanding Students are expected to build speed and
accuracy with vocabulary and concepts introduced in class.
Students demonstrate understanding of concepts learned in class
through responses to short answer questions and demonstration
of specific skills from Prima Lingua Unit 5 (name endings).
Developing Application Students are practicing discussion and
short answer skills. Students are expected to choose appropriate
examples from class to support answers. Students practice
specific skills taught from Prima Lingua unit 5 (name endings).
