I’ve taken you through the planning process – thinking about themes, topics and objectives, a scope and sequence, and assessments, and classroom routines for foundational literacy. Now it’s time to lesson plan for language and literacy!
Today I’m going to talk to you about classroom routines for foundational literacy in Stand Alone.
You have a plan, you have your themes and content objectives, you have your scope and sequence! After meeting your students on Thursday and getting settled, let’s get started with assessments for Stand Alone – the key to data-driven instruction.
I have a plan for ENL Stand Alone! Specifically, this year I am going to take you through a scope and sequence of linguistics skills that you will teach September through June.
This year, my goal is to help you plan out an entire year of YOUR content area: Stand Alone instruction of English as a New Language (ENL). Part of that planning includes content objectives for a content area.
For NYC teachers, Thursday, September 8th is just a few weeks away. But fear not! I have a plan for ENL Stand Alone.
This week, we are going to dive deep into subjects and predicates, because together they create a sentence, and form the basis of reading comprehension!
This month, I want to dive deeper into perhaps the most misunderstood practice in schools today: Close Reading. Specifically, I want to show you how to use syntax to read closely with your students, so they can build comprehension.
Dictation is the last step in our phonics sample lesson for emergent bilinguals, when the teacher dictates words and sentences targeting the sound-spelling objective, and students write them down!
This week, we’re on to Step 2 of a lesson plan template for phonics for emergent bilinguals: Introducing new information.
Today I’m going to give you a phonics lesson template for emergent bilinguals that strengthens decoding and encoding skills for all students.
There’s just no way around phonics: here’s what every emergent bilingual needs to know.
