ED388 SDAIE Assignment:
Meeting the Needs of English
Learners in the Content Areas
This assignment has two parts: an oral presentation to a small group,
and submission of a written product.
1. Oral
Presentation: Using an
overhead transparency or copies, you will share with a small group 1-2 lesson
plans from your C&I unit (under development) in which you have specifically
and thoroughly planned for meeting the academic and language needs of the
English learners in your content area.
In your presentation, you will point out the features of your lessons
that facilitate English learners’ access to academic language and
content.
2. Written
Product: The checklist below
presents a list of the required items and information, and a recommended order of appearance.
COVER PAGE A single page that identifies:
·
The
title of the larger unit in which the learning segment is embedded
·
Your
name
·
The
course in which the unit will/could be taught
·
The
grade(s) level for which the unit is targeted
·
The
intended level of English proficiency of students for who the unit is designed
2 LESSON PLANS In addition to the format recommended
by
your C&I instructor, make sure that each lesson plan includes the following
to ensure that you are providing effective SDAIE instruction:
·
Language
objectives, including those directed towards developing linguistic forms and
functions, and/or subject-specific genres (text-types)
·
Instructional
strategies that include specific scaffolding for either oral or written
academic English
·
Assessment
tied to language objectives
NARRATIVE Approximately 2 pages that describe and
explain:
·
How the
lessons reflect what you’ve learned about providing effective sheltered
instruction. Specifically, how did
you address the language development needs of your EL students and facilitate
their access to content language and learning in these lessons? (This is
essentially the content of your oral presentation written down.)
·
If
applicable, a description of how the lessons went when implemented
