independent practice. education, is also a valuable indicator of student
levels in various areas of English proficiency such
as speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
The assessment in the lesson will be the independent practice, where students will complete four tasks
independently and with a partner.
KEY POINTS
Key points are student-facing statements that include important content students needs to know to be
successful in the lesson. What three to five key points will you emphasize?
1. Vocabulary: Students will be able to learn key vocabulary words in English. The instruction is
intentional in forcing to do more than just translate the vocabulary word into students’ first language,
students need to write definitions in English. Students will have two methods for learning vocabulary,
one will be through visual and audio through BrainPop ELL, the other through translating words from
English to Spanish (T2.3.D Teacher present content in various ways to make content clear.)
2. Guided notes in English: Exposing students to grade level notetaking in English a priority in an
ESOL classroom, however students need scaffolds to be able to do this. Having students take notes in
a guided notesheet allows them to take notes in English while having them focus specifically on key
words and phrases.
(T2.3.A: Teacher present accurate grade-level content).
3. Changing verbs for present simple affirmative to present simple negative. In the independent
practice students will use the notes from the grammar summary to change verbs into the present
simple negative.
3 Students that are on-task and ready will be positively narrated. (T9.3.B Teacher promotes
and/ or reinforces positive behavior.)
Students are familiar with the Do Now procedure of entering the room, collecting
their folder, and answering the Do Now. Everyday students have 4 minutes to
complete the task (shown by the timer in the bottom right hand corner of the
Powerpoint), and the format is the same every day. The questions are numbered,
while students use the sentence frames that begin with the letter “A.” Students are
provided a word wall that gives key vocabulary that students need to complete the
activity.
T7.3.B (Routines and procedures run smoothly with some prompting from the teacher.)
During this initial four minutes, the teacher will be at the door greeting students, and
then transition into completing administrative tasks such as attendance. Students
(T7.4.A Students are never idle, even while teacher does administrative tasks such as
taking attendance or preparing materials.)
(T7.3.A Students are only idle for very brief periods of time while waiting for the teacher)
Once students have completed the work on their notesheet the teacher will lead a
discussion regarding the Objective and its significance. The discussion will begin by the
teacher asking the students why this lesson objective is significant. Students will be
prompted to respond given the sentence frame “This lesson is significant because…”
(T1.4.A Teacher facilitates a discussion of the lesson objective, its significance and/or how
it applies to students’ long-term academic and/or other goals.)
After completing the Do Now, students receive the prompt from the teacher in
English to “transition to class work.” One student, pre-determined in each class,
passes out the class-work while students are putting their Do Now sheet into their
folders.
(T7.4.B Routines and procedures run smoothly with minimal or no prompting from the
teacher.)
(T7.3.C Students demonstrate they generally know their responsibilities.)
(T7.3.D Transitions are smooth with some teacher direction.)
Students will be told that this packet is worth 5 points and will be entered as a
classwork grade. This will create student ownership of their grade and the work
completed in class.
(T8.3.D Students take ownership of work and are active participants in classwork and
discussions.)
(T8.3.B Interactions among teacher and students demonstrate a positive rapport and
mutual respect.)
Once the vocabulary section is completed, the class will begin the guided notes
section. Students will copy down the notes from the board, or have the option to
copy notes down from a printout version of the notes. Before beginning, it will be
explained to students that these notes are important because they will give students
the information necessary to complete the independent practice at the end of class
(T3.3.A All tasks have a clear and intentional purpose).
Students notes will be in English and coincide with grade-level ELA standards,
however a scaffold will be provided in that students need to only fill in the blank with
the most important words.
(T3.3.B Teacher provides access to grade-level material for all students by
scaffolding and/or differentiating tasks).
(T2.3.A Teacher presents accurate grade-level content)
Students are given two minutes to complete the notes for a given section, at which
point the class reads the notes aloud. This wait time gives students the chance to
grapple with the content before the teacher will read it out in English, and then
translate into Spanish to ensure student understanding.
(T3.3.C Students have opportunity and time to grapple with complex texts and/or
rigorous tasks).
(T3.3.D Teacher consistently models academic vocabulary and standard
grammatical structures).
Then the teacher will get the directions for #1 in English and in Spanish:
#1. Vocabulary: Translate the verbs from English to Spanish. You may work
with a partner. (Tranduce los verbos a Ingles de Espanol. Puedes trabajar con
un companero).
Students will be allowed to work with a partner during the time. The teacher will model
different ways that partner collaboration can take place. One is that students can self-
select which words they want to translate, and then each take ownership of a certain
amount of words, then collaborate at the end of the time. This method ensures that both
partners are accountable for parts of their work.
Students will have five minutes to complete this task. Students will be allows to use phones
to translate, will be seated, and groups can be no larger than 4.
(T9.3.A Teacher’s high behavioral expectations are clear to students, and teacher
consistently holds students accountable for meeting those expectations.)
(T6.3.B Teacher sets up structures for student collaboration and they are effective at
keeping students focused and productive with minimal teacher support.)
(T6.4.B Students monitor their progress in group work and hold one another accountable
for staying productive and on task)
After the five minutes, a student volunteer will lead the academic discussion reviewing the
words. This will mean a student will say the English word out-loud, with the class repeating
it one time, then the Spanish word will be read out-loud.
The class will then move to the second task. In this task students will be strategically placed
in groups based on their English proficiency levels. Students at lower levels will work
together, while higher level students will also work together. This will make sure higher
level students don’t simply complete all the work, and the lower level students copy.
(T6.3.C Teacher ensures all student groups and/or pairings are strategic, purposeful, and
flexible based on student characteristics).
(T6.3.D In most student-to-student interactions, students engage in discussions with their
peers to make meaning of content or deepen their understanding).
If students are off-task during this time they will be redirected individually as to not disrupt
other students’ learning time.
(T9.3.E When needed, teacher addresses behavioral issues with minimal interruption to
instructional time).
Students will have 20 minutes to complete this portion of the lesson. They will be working
independently, raising silent hands when they have questions. Students will be responsible
for holding their classmates accountable in order to gain class-wide PBIS incentives.
(T9.4.B Students self-manage behavior and monitor their peers, when needed.)
Gifted and talented students will act as teacher helpers when they are done to help
students who are at lower levels.
(T8.4.C Teacher has strong individual relationships with Students)
Using the peer-assistance models helps students have the ability to persevere through
complex tasks.
(T3.3.E Almost all students persevere through complex texts and/or rigorous tasks)
Then the teacher will give students the opportunity to explain how this objective is
important in other classes.
(T2.4.A Teacher makes connections across disciplines in presentation of content).
Students feel comfortable taking on the risk of speaking aloud in class because of the
strong culture built.
(T8.3.E The classroom is a safe community for all students to take on academic challenges
and risk possible failure.)
