Steps to Writing Lesson Plans

1. Choose WIDA Standard and Content Area;2. Choose the grade level(s) and language

proficiency level(s) the lesson will address;3. Look at NC Standard Course of Study

objectives that fit the content area you have chosen;

4. Write a content objective from the objective;5. Choose domain(s) to address (R,W, L, S);6. Write a language objective from the content

objective using a Model Performance Indicator;7. Use a lesson plan template for the lesson;8. Write the lesson! 6

What is a good objective?States what students will be able to….SWBAT

Uses VERBs from Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (see list)

Example:NC SCS – 6th grade Social Studies

Competency Goal 1 The learner will use the five themes of geography and

geographic tools to answer geographic questions and analyze geographic concepts.

1.02 Generate, interpret, and manipulate information from tools such as maps, globes, charts, graphs, databases, and models to pose and answer questions about space and place, environment and society, and spatial dynamics and connections.

1.03 Use tools such as maps, globes, graphs, charts, databases, models, and artifacts to compare data on different countries of South America and Europe and to identify patterns as well as similarities and differences among them. 7

Create a content objective that corresponds to this objective1.02 Generate, interpret, and

manipulate information from tools such as maps, globes, charts, graphs, databases, and models to pose and answer questions about space and place, environment and society, and spatial dynamics and connections.

SWBAT identify and locate the countries in South America.

Now it is your turn…. 1 Assigned tables will list supports for: Beginning level (level 2) students Developing level (level 4) students2 Assigned tables will list language functions

(verbs) that describe what students will do! Beginning level (level 2) students Developing level (level 4) students3. Assigned tables will be assigned to list topics

related to learning South American countries. Beginning level (level 2) students Developing level (level 4) students

16

Choose five and write on sentence strips!

Arrange yourselves to form MPIs

17

Now use your lesson plan template

Write in header Create content and language objectivesFill in rest of lesson plan

Share your wisdom!!!!

Practice makes Perfect!

You will need to practice using academic language from content areas to create language focus in the ELL classroom, in co-teaching classes, in sheltered (SIOP) classes.
