A ll r igh ts re se rv ed . Raise the Vocabulary Bar with Discussions4Learning Introduce rich, academic, oral vocabulary through engaging discussions about dazzling fine art and realworld photos. No worksheets or drills. Just twenty to forty minutes a day, for just two to four days a week, and you will see improved vocabulary and comprehension in all of your students regardless of their decoding skills! The Difference High-level, academic vocabulary to improve comprehension Discussions4Learning enriches the print-based curriculum of the language arts curriculum with the high-level vocabulary critical to comprehension. Explicit review of previously learned vocabulary Words are deliberately revisited in context in subsequent weeks as students discuss thought-provoking images. Authentic, engaging contexts for language development Dazzling images from around the globe and across time serve as authentic, engaging contexts for language learning. Fine art and cross-curricular connections You can easily infuse fine art while reinforcing key concepts in science and social studies through brilliant, compelling images. Discussions4Learning includes four levels, A–D. The levels can be used as early as grades K–3. The vocabulary and images, however, are sophisticated enough to use at the intermediate, middle school, or high school levels depending on the vocabulary and English proficiency levels of your students. • Each level includes 96 lessons. • Each lesson introduces 4–6 high-level academic vocabulary words in authentic, engaging contexts. • Each lesson focuses on one fine art image or real-world photo. Themes Components The program themes are designed to connect to critical concepts in Science and Social Studies. The program themes across the four levels are: Each level of Discussions4Learning comes in a box containing: • Four spiral-bound Teacher’s Guides, one for each theme • A CD-ROM with 96 fine art images and real-world photos • Things We See and Use connects to the physical sciences and the study of matter and objects. • A Program Guide with support for teaching the program • A sturdy spiral-bound 16” x 20” Portfolio is available with all 96 images for eachlevel. • Our Living World connects to the study of flora and fauna and biology. • Places and Spaces connects to both science and social studies, with a focus on neighborhoods, habitats, ecosystems, and biomes. • Our Changing World connects to changes in science and social studies.
