BROCKTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS DEPARTMENT OF BILINGUAL AND ESL SERVICES ALIGNMENT OF BROCKTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ CURRICULUM TO MASSACHUSETTS ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY BENCHMARKS AND OUTCOMES FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (GRADE THREE-GRADE SIX) 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Department of Bilingual/ESL Services wishes to acknowledge the work of the teachers who worked on the development of this curriculum guide. A special thank you is extended to Kellie Jones and Vula Roumis, English language acquisition coaches, who worked on the formatting of the document and assisted in bringing it to its final format. A special thank you is extended to the following teachers who worked on the initial drafts as we all became familiar with the Massachusetts English Language Proficiency Benchmarks and Outcomes: Maria da Luz Clinton, Davis School Maria Fontes, Davis School Carol Kleiner, Kennedy School Fernanda Vera-Cruz, Belmont Street School Soraya de Barros, Belmont Street School We are especially grateful for the many conversations we had about what makes good teaching for English language learners with these and other teachers. PURPOSE AND RATIONALE The Massachusetts English Language Proficiency Benchmarks and Outcomes (ELPBO) is a comprehensive document that addresses the multiple steps of language development and promotes a sound and systematic way to meet the Massachusetts State Curriculum Frameworks for English language learners. With its links to the English Language Arts and Foreign Language Curriculum Frameworks and the MELA-O, it encompasses the areas of language and cultural development effectively to inform our classroom curricula and teaching approaches. This document provides resources to assist in the implementation and integration of the ELPBO within classroom settings that include English language learners. First, resources and instructional examples are provided for the general outcomes for the strands of listening and speaking, reading, and writing. Second, the English language arts materials being used within the Brockton Public Schools are then aligned with the benchmarks and outcomes listed in the ELPBO including the Scott Foresman reading materials (K-6) and the Rigby On Our Way to English (K-5). DEPARTMENT OF BILINGUAL/ESL SERVICES - MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Brockton Public Schools' programs for English language learners is to enable students of limited English proficiency to develop the linguistic, cognitive, cultural, and self-concept skills necessary for success in the Brockton Public Schools and beyond. The students will accomplish this development in an atmosphere of understanding, cooperation, and support. DEPARTMENT OF BILINGUAL/ESL SERVICES – EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY 1. Limited English proficient students require the ability to understand, speak, read, and write English with near-native fluency to realize their full potential within the English speaking society. 2. The most successful programs are those that develop a positive self-concept in each student, while they continue to develop their English proficiency. 3. Teachers should have high expectations of all students, regardless of the student's background or academic preparation. 4. Teachers must help students in adjusting to cultural, language, and attitudinal difference. 5. Students in heterogeneous groupings learn from each other as well as from the teacher. 6. The ability to speak more than one language is a valuable asset, and one that should be recognized as such. 3 BEST PRACTICES IN INSTRUCTION OF ELLS - DIFFERENTIATION OF INSTRUCTION BASED ON ORAL LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT ELLs make progress in the development of their oral language development in English and also in their literacy development. These processes are two separate developmental processes. Students proceed along each process in phases. Students may be in a more advanced phase in one process than another. For example, a first grader may be at the intermediate fluency stage for English language development and may be at the Emergent literacy stage. STAGES OF ORAL LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT Pre-Production • • • • • • • No speech production Indicates comprehension physically Comprehends key words Depends heavily on context Responds by pantomiming, gesturing or drawing Says only yes, no or names of other students Minimal comprehension Early Production • • • • • • • Verbalizes key words “heard” Depends heavily on context Responds with one/two word answers or in phrases Uses routine expressions in key words independently Listens with greater understanding Repeats and recites memorable language Demonstrates increased confidence Speech Emergence • • • • • • Intermediate Fluency Stage • • • • Proficiency • Demonstrates accuracy and correctness comparable to native language speakers Produces whole sentences Hears smaller elements of speech (i.e., conjunctions) Shows good comprehension (given a rich context) Functions on a social level Speaks with less hesitation and demonstrates greater understanding Uses newly-acquired receptive vocabulary to experiment and form messages in English • Experiments and hypothesizes with language Produces connected discourse and narrative Uses more extensive vocabulary Demonstrates increased levels of accuracy and correctness Demonstrates use of higher-order language to negotiate, persuade, and evaluate 4 STAGES OF LITERACY DEVELOPMENT Preparation for Literacy • Enjoys being read to • Pretends to read familiar books • Names letters of alphabet • Recognizes some signs • Plays with pencils and paper • Interest in printing own name • Begins to develop phonological awareness Early Literacy • Develops phonemic awareness • Associates letters with sounds • Prints letters and numbers • Recognizes high frequency words by sight • Sounds out regularly spelled words • Uses contextual and picture clues • Uses inventive spelling Emergent Literacy • Consolidates “sight” vocabulary • Expands letter sound knowledge • Reads simple familiar stories independently • Practices using repeated and partner reading • Develops reading fluency (speed and accuracy) • Writes and spells with less effort Intermediate Abilities • Reads for pleasure • Reads to gain new knowledge • Expands vocabulary through reading • Writes and spells more automatically • Writes for communication with others • Writes for personal expression of ideas • Reads and writes more strategically 5 BEST PRACTICES IN INSTRUCTION OF ELLS - SHELTERED INSTRUCTION OBSERVATION PROTOCOL (SIOP)1 Sheltered instruction is a means (method) for making grade-level academic content (e.g. science, social studies, math) more accessible for English language learners while at the same time promoting their English language development. It is an approach that can extend the time students have for getting language support services while giving them a jump start on the content subjects they need for graduation The sheltered instruction classroom that integrates language and content, that highlights key language feature, that incorporates strategies that make the content comprehensible to students, and that infuses socio-cultural awareness is an excellent environment to scaffold instruction and enhance students’ language and academic development. Through the sheltered instruction features described below, teachers guide students to construct meaning from texts and classroom discourse and to understand and apply complex content concepts. Lesson Preparation Lesson planning is crucial for student success. Lessons that provide access to vocabulary and language that is appropriate for a student’s proficiency level and content concepts that are appropriate for a student’s cognitive and developmental levels are challenges for sheltered instruction teachers. Lesson planning that includes the establishment of clearly defined content and language objectives is key to meeting these challenges. Lessons that adapt content to students’ levels of proficiencies, that provide a high degree of supplementary materials, and that include meaningful activities are at the core of the sheltered instruction classroom. Building Background To promote maximum learning, effective sheltered instruction teachers create lessons that enable students to make connections between their own knowledge and learning to the new information being taught. New skills and concepts are explicitly linked to students’ background experiences and past learning. Another essential component in building students’ backgrounds is the identification of key vocabulary. This vocabulary is explicitly introduced, written, repeated and highlighted before independent academic tasks. Comprehensible Input Research consistently demonstrates the necessity for comprehensible input in the development of language and academic proficiency. Effective Sheltered Instruction teachers ensure that communication, whether oral, visual, or written, is understandable to the students. One way in which teachers’ scaffold instruction is to pay careful attention to students’ English proficiency level and their capacity for working in English. Teachers facilitate student understanding by adjusting their speech through repetition, paraphrasing, shorter sentences, and giving examples. Simple gestures and visual aids can also be of great assistance in making instructions clearer for ELLs. In addition, teachers provide a model of the process as it is described. Teachers also scaffold instruction by adjusting instructional tasks so that they are increasingly challenging. Moreover, clear and explicit instructions for classroom activities and assignments support the development of academic and language comprehension. These strategies enable students to access subject matter concepts and skills and to participate in the classroom discourse and activities, regardless of proficiency level. 1 Adapted from, Making Content Comprehensible for English Language Learner- The SIOP Model (Echevearria, Vogt, and Short) 6 Strategies Strategies refer to the processes and behaviors that people use to help them construct new knowledge. Many English language learner, have difficulty initiating an active role in using learning strategies because their energy and focus is on translating new words and other basic functions of learning a new language. Proficient sheltered instruction teachers provide explicit instruction in a variety learning strategies. Teachers model strategies, scaffold them, and provide multiple opportunities for English language learner to practice them. Ultimately, ELLs can use a variety of learning strategies appropriately and flexibly in the sheltered instruction classroom. Interaction Second language acquisition research consistently indicates how critical student interaction is in the development of language proficiency. High quality Sheltered Instruction lessons provide frequent opportunities for interaction and discussion between teacher and student and between student and student. This interaction promotes the acquisition of essential language skills, including elaboration, negotiation of meaning, clarification, persuasion, and many others. It is through discussion with classmates and with the teacher that the English language learner practices these important skills. In addition, teachers provide sufficient wait time so students of varying language proficiencies are able to respond effectively. Practice/Application All students, including English language learners, have a variety of learning styles and have multiple intelligences. Lessons that incorporate a variety of learning styles and intelligences- kinesthetic, visual, tactile, auditory, interpersonal, etc., benefit English language learner because they provide the opportunity to practice language and content knowledge through multiple modalities. Effective Sheltered Instruction teachers construct lessons that encourage students to practice and apply BOTH the content and language skills they are learning. In addition, these teachers integrate the language skills – reading, writing, listening, and speaking – in their lessons. In order to accomplish such integration, teachers’ lesson plans may span multiple days. Lesson Delivery Planning lessons that incorporate all the elements of SIOP is the first step in assisting the development of academic English and content skills. However, successful implementation of such planning is vital in the sheltered instruction classroom. Teachers ensure that lesson’s objectives are met, that instruction reflects the content and language objectives, and that appropriate activities are accomplished. In addition, students should be engaged in the classroom discussion and activities between 90-100% of the time. Finally, a pace appropriate for the students’ proficiency level is essential in the effective sheltered instruction classroom. Review/Assessment Effective sheltered instruction involves reviewing important concepts, providing constructive feedback through clarification and modeling, and making instructional decisions based on student responses. Teachers need to schedule a protected time at the end of every class to evaluate the extent to which students have mastered the lesson’s objectives. Moreover, teachers should continually assess student learning during lessons and adjust their plans accordingly. Finally, teachers should tie assessment (both formal in informal) to the content and language goals of the lesson and to the proficiency levels of students. 7 Lesson Plan Checklist for The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) PREPARATION _____ Write content objectives clearly for students: _____ Write language objectives clearly for students _____ Choose content concepts appropriate for age and educational background level of students.

All literacy instruction for ELLs must focus on the process of creating meaning through the reading and writing process. Most of the literacy skills students have developed in their native language will transfer to English. All literacy instruction for ELLs should incorporate the native language and assist students in making the transfer of skills from their first to the second language. The components of a balanced literacy approach include: Phonemic Awareness – students have an understanding of the individual sounds in the English language, can distinguish individual sounds (/b/ vs. /p/), and can manipulate those individual sounds Phonic – students have an understanding of how individual sounds are represented in print form via individual letters (/s/, /l/) or a combination of letters (/sh/, /ch/). Phonics instruction should be considered carefully for English language learners. Phonics instruction is meaningless for ELLs if they do not understand the meaning of the words they are trying to decode. Phonics instruction should move from the known sounds and letters that are familiar to the student from the native language to the unknown. Word Study – students use knowledge of phonics to identify patterns in written English, exceptions to those patterns, and word families, and to develop a repertoire of word-solving strategies Vocabulary – a comprehensive knowledge of the wide variety of words, both academic and social, that add richness and preciseness to language is systematically integrated into reading and writing experiences Reading Aloud – rich and engaging stories are read to the students for pleasure and to demonstrate adult fluent reading and provide access to books and vocabulary beyond the student’s own reading level. Read alouds are of primary importance in the vocabulary development of ELLs. Shared Reading – an interactive experience where children and teacher interact with the printed page to construct meaning, develop vocabulary, and promote the development of learning strategies (visualization, inference, etc.). Shared reading is more appropriate for English language learners at the earliest stages of their second language development. Guided Reading – promotes independent use of learning strategies through teacher direction and books chosen at the student’s instructional reading level. Guided reading is more appropriate for students at or approaching the intermediate fluency stage of second language proficiency. Reading Strategy Instruction – Reading strategies are often highlighted through mini-lessons and applied in class read alouds and guided reading instruction. For English language learners, reading strategy instruction should be scaffolded further through think alouds, further guided practice opportunities, and visuals. Literacy Centers – students apply the learning strategies and skills acquired in the various reading and writing experiences at independent literacy centers Independent Reading – individually or with partners, students assume responsibility for the implementation of the strategies and skills learned Shared Writing – an interactive approach to writing where teacher and students work together to construct meaning in a rich written text which exceeds the students’ current writing proficiency Interactive Writing – similar to shared writing but the teacher and student share the pen, with students contributing letters, words, or sentences depending on their writing skills 11 Mediated Writing – the teacher provides structure at the sentence level to scaffold the student towards a written text using step by step directions (Write a sentence telling the setting of the story Mr. Popper’s Penguins) The Writing Process – students, with support from the teacher, take a written task through the five stages of prewriting, writing, revising, editing and publishing BEST PRACTICES IN INSTRUCTION OF ELLS – LIMITED FORMAL SCHOOLING STUDENTS Limited formal schooling students are characterized as recent arrivals to the United States (fewer than 5 years), with limited or interrupted formal schooling in their native countries, with a very limited native language literacy, and are significantly below grade level in math and other subject areas. In addition to access to a balanced literacy program and making connections to native language, these students also benefit from: Thematic Approach – a theme based curriculum to develop academic language, learning strategies, and literacy Materials – using meaningful and motivating texts that are age and reading level appropriate Building Background – connections are drawn from the students’ background experiences, cultures, and languages Collaboration – collaborative and interactive activities that promote the acquisition of social and academic spoken language Scaffolding – a high level of scaffolding to explicitly highlight and model the process of learning, of reading, and of writing Building of Confidence – activities and classroom environment provide a sense of self in their cognitive abilities Print – the surrounding environment is print rich, assisting students to make connections between spoken word, objects, and actions to the written word 12 THE MASSACHUSETTS ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY BENCHMARKS AND OUTCOMES FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS In an effort to better assist classroom teachers in targeting the multiple areas of the ELPBO and facilitate its use, the Department of Bilingual/ESL Services has organized an instructional resource and vignette example component to illustrate the specific outcomes infused throughout this alignment document. The resources are not exclusive of a variety of other materials that might be used to meet the needs of English language learners. The instructional examples are one snapshot of how the ELPBO general outcomes in listening and speaking, reading, and writing might be infused within a classroom setting. SPEAKING AND LISTENING STRAND (S) S.1 Vocabulary: Students will comprehend and communicate orally in English, using vocabulary for personal, social, and academic purposes. (FL 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7; ELA 4) Resources Instructional Example Realia Charts Grids Classroom objects Pictures Picture dictionaries Photos from home Flannel Boards Word webs Word walls Books on tape Read alouds Shared reading and guided reading texts Rigby-On Our Way to English Oral Language Component (K-5) Creating a connection to personal and prior experience is essential for the development of vocabulary in English. After identifying the parts of the body using him/herself as a model, students can play a “Simon Says” game whereby students point to their body part. Teacher then reads a poem about body parts aloud. Students can echo read or choral read along with the teacher. After mastering body parts, students can classify body parts by internal/external, number, location, etc. Students can then write a simple paragraph that includes color (hair/eyes/etc.), number, location, length, and texture words that match that body part. Students can also bring photos from home and describe their family members. Students can also pick a picture from a magazine, describe the items orally, while classmates listen and draw what the student says. This thematic approach can be extended to the subject areas, including mathematics. For example, students can count the number of eyes, mouths, noses, arms, fingers, and toes in the class. Students can graph the results of the counting and make comparisons between the numbers of body parts in the class. Furthermore, body part vocabulary can be extended to a science lesson. Students can place models of body parts on an image of a body. Students can also identify the parts, function, and purpose of each body part. Additional language extensions could include preposition use (on he head, below the nose) and idiomatic expressions (knee high/arms length). 13 S.2 Social Interaction: Resources Students will comprehend and communicate orally, using English for personal and social purposes. (FL 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8; ELA 5, 6) Instructional Example When a new student arrives with limited or no experience of English or the culture of the United States, teachers can employ a number of strategies to develop English language skills, assist in student acclimation, and prepare the student for school culture and expectations. Students may also arrive with limited or no formal schooling. Liaison staff Culture grams Trade/picture books on multicultural issues Picture books such as I Hate English Teaching tolerance videos Literature Amazing English – The Buddy Book (Addison Wesley) The Responsive Classroom creates an atmosphere of acceptance and enables students to practice expressing needs, concerns, and preferences in a safe and structured environment. Students can create a classroom covenant that contains a list of accepted behaviors and consequences. To make it personal, all students can sign this contract. To make connections with native cultural norms, the teacher, with the assistance students who have experience of US cultural expectations, can role play accepted school behavior and social interactions. The teacher can lead a discussion that contrasts and compares differences in societal expectations. Students can then role play various school-based scenarios. Peers can provide constructive feedback. Students can, in pairs, interview staff (who have had experienced cultural acclimation) about their experiences and challenges of living in a new culture. Reading Rainbow Reading Series Pictures Board games Social Skills programs – Responsive Classroom/Second Steps S.3 Academic Interaction: Resources Students will comprehend and communicate orally, using English in academic settings. (FL 1, 2, 5, 6, 7; ELA 1, 2, 5) Instructional Example Realia Artifacts Content Area videos Scott Foresman ESL videos Rigby – On Our Way to English program components (K-5) Content area kits Pictures Primary source documents – historical documents Read alouds 10 Important Sentences Adding English Components of Scott Foresman Math Investigation Units Shared and Guided Reading Texts During a social studies unit on Ancient Greece, a number of best practices can be incorporated into instructional practice and student activities. A “teaching backwards” method contextualizes the learning and enables students to make connections. To activate prior knowledge and to provide input from multiple modalities, students, in cooperative groups, can brainstorm the “know” and “want to know” components of a KWL chart. After brainstorming, students can discuss differences and similarities between their native culture and that of Ancient Greece. To build background, a children’s video on Ancient Greece can be shown, with frequent pauses for comprehension checks and discussion about content. After the video is shown and after teacher instruction with a question and answer session, students can complete the final component of the KWL chart. At a later date, the video can be shown again, and students can use a graphic organizer to focus their listening and access the VIPs (very important points). Students can also explore cognates and other similarities between Greek and their native language. Students can write their names using the Greek alphabet. Other activities to contextualize the learning and make cultural and linguistic connections include exploring the foods and music of Greece, performing a dramatic recitation of or visiting a performance of a Greek play, discussing the foundation of the Olympic games, and a guest speaker who traveled to or lived in Greece. 14 Students will present information orally and participate in performances that demonstrate appropriate consideration of audience, purpose, and the information to be conveyed. (ELA 3, 18; FL 3, 6, 7) Resources Instructional Example S.4 Presentation: Newspapers Computer programs – Kidpix, Printshop, Print Artist, I Spy Writing Computer Programs – American Girls, Hollywood High, Down on the Farm, etc. Plays of a variety of reading levels Readers’ Theatre The Writing Process- the Publishing and sharing of work Mathematics curriculum projects Scott Foresman social studies program – primary source/read aloud/literature connection components Students, regardless of proficiency level, can make oral presentations. For example, after exploring the theme of cultural traditions (making connections) students can prepare for a presentation. Beginner students can write a simple paragraph discussing a favorite traditional dish from their native cultures. Beginner students can practice their speaking skills by chorally reading or chanting their paragraphs. Beginner students’ presentations can include visuals and a sample of the traditional dish. Beginner students can also demonstrate how such a traditional dish is made, and what ingredients it contains. Intermediate students can interview a peer or school personnel/community adults about cultural traditions. Intermediate students can then report on the results of the interviews and include graphics and visuals. Intermediate students can also utilize a variety of sources to illustrate results of interview. Advanced students can prepare complex presentations utilizing multiple sources. Advanced students can produce extended discourse on their cultural topics and use appropriate speech patterns and presentation behaviors. All students can use computer technology to record and display their work. READING STRAND (R) R.1 Vocabulary and Syntax in Print: Students will acquire and apply vocabulary and syntax to comprehend written text. (ELA 4, 5; FL 5, 6) Resources Instructional Example Scott Foresman posters, building background and 10 Important Sentences Quick word dictionaries Magnetic letters Blocks/letter tiles Pictures Magnetic boards Picture dictionaries Individual word walls Content area word walls Read alouds Shared and guided reading texts FCA’s of John Collin’s Writing Program Daily Oral Language Tier Two Vocabulary Lessons A variety of strategies and activities can be utilized to develop knowledge of vocabulary and of the syntactic structure of the English language. Daily Oral Language activities promote the discussion and development of language convention skills. During Daily Oral Language, comparisons between students’ first languages and the English language can be made. Students can identify what they already know about language functions and forms and transfer them to English contexts. In addition, each student can become a part of a sentence to become a “living sentence”. By moving, adding, or deleting parts of that living sentence, it can become a question, a command, or an exclamation. Teachers can also use authentic literature and meaningful contexts to introduce, discuss, and refine mechanics and conventions in English. For example, once the students read the literacy book, Me, the teacher can discuss the formation and meaning of the present progressive tense. Students can also explore use of pronouns with this book. Students can observe other classes in action and document student classroom activities. These activities can be categorized and then graphed. Finally, students can use their knowledge of pronoun usage and the present progressive tense to write their own book outlining what a particular student is doing at a particular moment. 15 R.2 Beginning to Read in English: Resources Scott Foresman Phonics Songs, Rhymes and Chants Scott Foresman Adding English (posters/10 important sentences) Scott Foresman Audio Tapes (Background Building/Phonics Songs and Rhymes/Selection Audio) Amazing English – The Buddy Book (Addison Wesley) Magnetic Boards and Letters Letter tiles, letter blocks Scott Foresman Leveled Readers Literacy Closets Rigby – On Our Way to English Word Study Components (K-5) Read alouds Shared reading texts Phonics readers R.3 Comprehension: Resources Using a foundation of oral language and previous reading experience, students will understand the nature of written English and the relationships of letters to the sounds of English speech. (ELA 7; FL 5) Instructional Example After listening to a read aloud about a rainforest creature, such as Verdi, the teacher can lead a discussion about the content and vocabulary associated with that habitat. Then, students can be introduced to a literacy book with similar theme, such as In the Rainforest. With all the words covered, students can make predictions about vocabulary and content. Students can listen to the teacher read the story aloud and then assess predictions. A number of word study activities can be used with this authentic piece of literature. Students can search for language patterns in the book. Students can replicate words from the book with magnet letters. The teacher can read a word from the story aloud and the students can write it with chalk for a “chalkboard challenge”. A phonetic pattern in the book can be discussed and additional vocabulary brainstormed. Students can search for words in the story that begin or end with a certain sound. In addition, students can find words in the story that begin and end with the same sound. The teacher can cover a word in text with post-its; and students can predict word using context clues. The teacher then can remove one post-it to reveal first letter and the students can make a new prediction. Moreover, students can show a vocabulary flash card when it is heard in the story. Students will read fluently and identify facts and evidence in order to interpret and analyze text. (ELA 8, 11) Instructional Example Flannel boards Scott Foresman Adding English (posters/10 important sentences) Scott Foresman audio-tapes of stories Graphic displays Literacy closet Building background Sets of books for shared and guided reading Graphic Organizers Realia Models Rigby – On Our Way to English Guided and Shared Reading Components, Reading Strategy Cards (K-5) Bilingual/ESL teachers employ a variety of strategies to increase, ensure, and assess reading comprehension. Before reading a biography on King Tut, teachers can first activate prior knowledge by creating an Egypt or Pharaoh word web. Relevant vocabulary can then be discussed and developed. Teachers can build background for students’ reading of the text by locating Egypt on a map, identifying Egyptian artifacts, or watching a video on King Tut. The teacher can also choose to read aloud a different book on the same subject and lead a literature discussion. Before reading the biography, teachers can lead a picture or book walk and make predictions about content and vocabulary. While reading the text, students can periodically stop and assess predictions, change predictions, and discuss major themes. Once the text is completed, students can act out scenes from King Tut’s life, or write an alternate ending for the story. A beach ball of comprehension questions can be thrown around the room. Students answer the question they get on the ball. A similar activity could be executed with a spinner. 16 R.4 Literary Elements and Techniques: Students will identify and analyze text elements and techniques used in various literary genres. (ELA 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) Resources Instructional Example Literature from a variety of countries/cultures Story telling organizers Re-telling tree Graphic organizers Genre Collections Literacy Closet Poetry books Books on tape Read Alouds During a unit on the “fairy tale” genre, a cross cultural comparison of Cinderella stories could be explored. There are comparable stories from a variety of countries, including Cape Verde, Korea, China, Egypt, Native America (Rough Faced Girl), and Ireland. Cross curricular instruction can be employed, whereby students create passports, travel around the world, and learn about the countries and visit the different Cinderellas. Before the readings, the elements of a fairy tale (including good/evil characters, numbers, elements of magic, happy endings) can be introduced. Within each of the various tales, the previously discussed elements can be identified and placed on a chart. After graphing the plot of each Cinderella and completing the elements chart, students could then compare and contrast the different Cinderellas. Finally, students can paint/draw a mural of the Cinderella story from each country. After comparing the various Cinderella stories, students can write their own story, specific to their cultural background or school/community. In addition, students can act out this story or a Cinderella play. Students can also watch the video of Disney’s Cinderella and identify the components/elements of the fairy tale genre. 17 R.5 Informational/Expository Text: Resources Magazines Content area videos/primary source documents Picture dictionaries Thesauri Non-fiction literature Books on native countries Non-fiction read alouds Shared and guided reading texts that are non-fiction Scott Foresman reading series – non fiction selections Rigby – On Our Way to English Guided Reading and Shared Reading Components related to the content areas (K-5) Literacy closet Guest Speakers Students will identify and analyze purposes, structures, and elements of nonfiction texts. (FL 4, 7; ELA 8, 10, 13) Instructional Example During a social studies unit on the westward expansion, or turn of the century America, an exploration on the use of antiques can help contextualize the content. Before reading the unit, prior knowledge can be activated through a discussion of life today – What is life like? What are people’s basic needs? How do they reach these needs? What tools do they use to assist them in their daily lives? The brainstormed information can be placed on a chart. Then, the teacher can bring in a variety of antiques and students can predict their function. The results of this exploration can be recorded on a “Westward Expansion” tools chart. Next, the teacher can bring in a Sears catalogue (or historical newspaper, or other primary source document located on the internet) to identify people’s basic needs and living standards. These results can also be placed on a chart. After watching a documentary video about westward expansion, and based on the brainstormed information, students can then write an fictional account of the their lives on the western plain. Before reading the social studies text, students can explore the components of the unit to gain information and make predictions about content and vocabulary. While reading the text, students can make a study guide (survival guide) of the westward expansion. Teachers can also employ the variety of “10 important sentences” strategies to ensure/assess content knowledge. As a culminating activity, students can write two plays about life on the western plain – one from the Native American perspective, one from the settlers’. As an extension, the class can have a discussion about the difference between needs and wants, and how these have evolved over time. 18 R.6 Research: Students will gather information from a variety of sources, analyze and evaluate the quality of the information obtained, and use it to answer their own and others’ questions. (ELA 24) Resources Instructional Example Magazines Newspapers Personal Computers/Internet Dictionaries Picture Dictionaries Children Magazines Scholastic/Time/Weekly Readers Television Videos Interviews Library Teacher-made materials Letters/Diaries Primary Source Documents Local Archives Photographs After a unit on 19th and 20th century immigration to the United States, students can research the immigration of people they know – family members, teachers, paraprofessionals, etc. First, students can complete a graphic organizer outlining the reasons 19th and 20th century immigrants came to the United States and their experiences in America. After choosing a person to interview, students can write a letter to that person requesting permission to interview them. Then, students can, in groups, brainstorm 10 personal questions they would ask in the interview. Students can then interview their chosen person using a tape recorder, notetaker, video recorder, etc. Students then can compare and contrast their interviewee’s reasons for immigration and their experiences with the 20th century using a Venn Diagram. Using the graphic organizers and the interview results, students can write a paper about their interviewees’ experiences and those of earlier immigrants. Presentations, including graphics, photos, and country histories can be made and a bulletin board created. WRITING STRAND (W) Students will plan for writing by building on prior knowledge, generating words, and organizing ideas for a particular audience and purpose. (ELA 4, 20, 23; FL 7) Resources Instructional Example W.1 Prewriting: Graphic organizers Thematic literature Checklists (mechanics, grammar, etc.) Videos Realia Word banks Word walls/Content word walls Personal word walls Samples/models Computer Picture dictionaries Quick word dictionaries Pictures John Collins Type 1 Writing Writing component of the Scott Foresman reading program – brainstorming activities Rigby-On Our Way to English (K-5) writing progam – graphic organizer/pre-writing activities Building background is an essential component to any writing project. For a country “travel guide” writing project, there are a number of pre-writing activities that can include all English language learners. Connections to background and prior experiences can be facilitated through students bringing in pictures from their native country, or cut out photos from National Geographic magazines. A local travel agent can be brought in to discuss information travelers need before going on vacation. The travel agent can also supply students with travel brochures. Students can, cooperatively, review travel guides supplied by the teacher and brainstorm categories and topics contained within them. After being broken into groups with defined roles, students can research information about a particular country. They can then brainstorm/web general information about a chosen country Next, students can brainstorm important vocabulary for particular categories in travel guides. For instance, attractions, food, entertainment, family life/education. The vocabulary brainstormed in groups can be shared with the entire class and word splashes (with illustrations if necessary) made for each category. 19 W.2 Writing: Students will write for a variety of purposes with a clear focus, coherent organization, and sufficient detail. (ELA 19; FL 1) Resources Instructional Example Brochures Graphic organizers Visitors/experts John Collins writing information FCAs Checklists (mechanics, structure, etc.) Rigby-On Our Way to English (K-5) Writing Resource Guide After brainstorming general information and vocabulary, a variety of tools can assist students in writing such an extensive “travel guide” project. Groups can report back the important vocabulary previously brainstormed and a master can be made on the overhead. The class as a whole can then brainstorm appropriate modifiers for those vocabulary words. Students can do a quick write (Type One) to get some basic ideas down on paper. Teachers can then give the students a mediated writing assignment that breaks down the paragraphs. Once the mediated writing assignment is complete, the information can be transferred into a multi-paragraph Collins’ Type Three writing assignment with FCAs. W.3 Revising: Students will evaluate and revise word choice, sentence variety, and organization of ideas in their writing for a particular audience and purpose. (ELA 20, 21, 25) Resources Instructional Example Checklists Dictionaries Thesauri Word banks Student samples Tape recorders Video tapes Audio-visual equipment Models/samples Computers FCAs for John Collins Writing Rigby-On Our Way to English (K-5) Writing Resource Guide Revision work is essential for developing student vocabulary and writing structure. For the travel guide project, there are a number of helpful revision strategies that can be employed. Students can re-write the project for a different audience. (For example, students can try to “persuade” a student to visit their chosen country. Students can rewrite the project with revising FCAs (add adjectives, vocabulary variety, varied sentence starters, etc.). Showing previous students’ samples can illustrate what is expected/contained in an excellent product. Peer editing provides revision with new “eyes”. Students can read their work into a tape recorder and listen for mistakes. Students can present their “travel guide” in a commercial format on video tape. 20 W.4 Editing: Students will understand and apply knowledge of standard English grammar, spelling, and conventions to improve their writing. (ELA 5, 22; FL 5) Resources Instructional Example Collins Writing edit marks poster FCA guidelines Word walls Word walls specific to word families, rhymes, ending, blends, etc. Thesauri Grammar handbooks Scott Foresman Writing series – Write Start Dictionaries Native language texts Daily Oral Language Computers FCAs for John Collins Writing Rigby-On Our Way to English (K-5) Writing Resource Guide Extending the Travel Brochure project, students can edit their writing for mechanics and usage. Teachers can explicitly teach editing skills through Collins writing projects and Daily Oral Language. Students can use the word wall to look for language patterns, rhymes, affixes, word families, etc. Students can use that knowledge of editing and mechanics to review and edit work before handing in for a grade. Students can compare their written brochures with professional ones to examine conventions and mechanics. Peer buddies can, using a peer-editing checklist, edit and discuss the brochures, identifying areas of confusion and errors. Students can also rewrite the brochure with new FCAs. Once the brochures are complete, students can publish the brochures and send to a local chamber of commerce, local travel agencies, or community organizations. W.5 Media: Students will use, analyze, and produce a variety of media, including audio, television, internet, and emerging technologies. (ELA 26, 27; FL 6,7) Resources Instructional Example Newspapers/Magazines Graphic computer programs – Kidpix, PrintShop, Print Artist, I Spy, Microsoft Publisher, PageMaker, etc. Clip art computer programs Writing Computer Programs – American Girls, Hollywood High Computers/Printers Audio-visual equipment Videos Radio In the process of publishing the travel brochure, a wide variety of media tools can be used. Students can input their texts into a computer graphics program. In this program, students develop design skills through formatting, editing, and printing their brochures. In addition, they can add clip art, logos, maps, charts, photos, etc to make their brochures visually appealing. Students can also use the same information to develop and produce oral presentations that use media technologies. A presentation using Power Point, including animations, sounds, photos, transition techniques, can be developed for a wider audience. Furthermore, students could script and produce television or radio commercials that highlight features of their country brochure. 21 ON OUR WAY TO ENGLISH – RIGBY K-5 SCOPE AND SEQUENCE ELPBO R·3·1b
