CURRICULUM GUIDEEssential Questions Essential Pre-requisite Skills

Unit: Who am I? Cluster 1: How do we use language to

communicate? What language do we need to describe ourselves and our surroundings?

Cluster 2: How does family and culture affect who you are?

Cluster 3: Find out how your body is unique.

Reading/word identification/vocabulary development Identify and use words that name persons, places, and things; name actions, directions, positions, sequences, and locations. Use the context of the sentence to determine the intended meaning of an unfamiliar word. Analyze context within a sentence and in larger sections of text to determine or clarify the meaning of unfamiliar or ambiguous

words.Reading/literary concepts Predict what might happen next in a story based on the cover, title, and illustrations. Use ideas presented in stories to make and confirm predictions. Describe incidents that advance the story or novel, explaining how each incident gives rise to or foreshadows future events. Summarize the elements of plot development and influence of setting on various works of fiction. Draw conclusions about the relevance of the setting to the mood and tone of works of fiction. Compare and contrast the role of a similar setting in two different works of fiction.Listening/speaking/purposes: Listen attentively by facing speakers and asking questions to clarify information. Follow, restate, and give oral instructions that involve a short related sequence of actions. Listen to and interpret a speaker's purpose by explaining the content, evaluating the delivery of the presentation, and asking

questions or making comments about the evidence that supports a speaker’s claims. Writing/purposes. Plan a first draft by generating ideas for writing through class discussion. Develop drafts by sequencing the action or details in the story and ideas through writing sentences. Revise drafts by adding or deleting a word, phrase, or sentence as well as coherence, organization, simple and compound

sentences and audience. Edit drafts for grammar, punctuation, and spelling using a teacher-developed rubric.

The Teaching and Learning PlanInstructional Model/Teacher Directions

The teacher will… The students willFollow this nine week plan.Week 1 Days 1-5 Provide a print rich environment of labeled items in the classroom. Have students

complete a warm up activity writing about the items they see around the room.

In order to randomize and rotate who is called on in your classrooms, choose a method. For Example, each time you pull a name, place it back into a container. This will ensure that all students are prepared to be called on at all times. 1) Have students write their names on a popsicle stick. 2) Have students write their name on an index card. 3) Write students’ name on poker chips. 4) Create your own system.

Introduce the “Accountable Conversation Questions.” Place the following poster in

Look at all the items in the classroom. Create a list of items you see. Think about what the items are used for and write about them. Use the following sentence stems to complete this warm up activity. [I see a(n) ______. It can be used to ___.]

Use this strategy to be prepared to answer any question. Your teacher will choose a way to ask a student to answer a question.

Use this strategy to speak in complete sentences when you are unsure of an answer. You can no longer say, “I Don’t Know.”

your room.

Model for the students how to use the questions when they are unsure what to say when called on by a teacher (Seidlitz & Perryman, 2008). Explain that they are called on for a response, they can either respond, or ask for help and then respond. Newcomer English learners should not be pressured to speak in front of the class if they have not yet begun to show early production levels of speech proficiency. Students should be encouraged, but not forced to speak when in the silent period of language development (Krashen, 1982).

Have students construct question about getting to know one another using the Think-Pair-Share strategy. Post: What do you want to know about me [the

teacher]? What do you want to know about one another [the students]? Sample questions to use: How many siblings do you have? What is your favorite sport? What is your favorite food?

Demonstrate introductions by answering student made questions using your personal information. Use the Introduction Cards strategy to build

relationships in your classroom.

1. Provide each student with 3 index cards.

2. Have students fold 2 index cards vertically and number each inner section with numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 (bottom left side).

3. Have students number the third index card with the number 5 on the bottom left corner.

Use this strategy when your teacher asks you a question you can answer using a complete sentence. If you are unsure of the answer you can use one of the following questions: May I please have some more information? May I have some time to think? May I ask a friend for help? Would you please repeat the question? Where could I find information about that?

Read the question on the board: “What do you want to know about me?” Use the Think-Pair-Share strategy to create questions. First, think about what information you would like to learn about your teacher. Turn to a partner and talk about the different things you would like to know about your teacher. With a partner write down some questions and share them with the class. Repeat the Think-Pair-Share strategy with the second question: What do you want to know about the other students in the classroom?

Listen to how your teacher answers the personal questions. Practice personal introductions by using the Introduction Cards strategy.

1. Make sure that you have 3 index cards to use for this strategy.

2. Fold 2 of the index cards vertically. Label the inner parts of the index cards with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.

3. Number the third index card with the number 5 on the bottom left corner.

4. On section 1, write 3 questions that you would like to ask your partner. You can pick these questions from the ones that were created earlier as a class. You can also

4. Section 1: Have students choose 3 questions from the class list of questions to ask a partner. Have students write the questions in section one. Provide students a copy of the questions from Interview Guide on AVID p. 14.

5. Use the Parallel Lines strategy for this activity. Have students line up from

tallest to shortest. [Students must line up silently.]

6. Divide the students in half. Create parallel lines (students face one another in pairs). Have students introduce themselves using the following sentence stem. “Hi. My name is ____.” Then allow students to move around the classroom with their partner.

7. Allow students to ask one another the three questions they wrote on section one. Have students write their partner’s answers on section two.

8. Have students read their notes on section two. Have them circle one topic that they would like to know more about.

9. Have students reread what they circled on section two. Have students write three more questions about what they circled from section two on section three on the second index card.

10. Have students ask one another the questions from section three. Have students write exact quotes on section four.

11. Have students use the third index card to write an introduction of their partner. Guide students to use the exact quotes from section four to write the introduction. Ask for a volunteer to introduce their partner. Use a stress ball so students choose the next student to share their partner’s introduction.

Introduce descriptive adjectives. Provide a model acrostic poem with your last name. Post your created poem. Allow students to use bilingual dictionaries to create their own acrostic poem with their names. Use AVID Activity 3: Acrostic Name Poems, p. 348-350.

Have students share their acrostic poems by using the Parallel Lines strategy.

1. Have students line up by birth month and day from January to December. [Students must line up silently.]

choose questions from the AVID Interview Guide.

5. Line up at the front of the class by height from tallest to shortest. Do not talk to one another when you are lining up.

6. Your teacher will divide the line and create parallel lines. You will face a student. This student is your partner. Introduce yourself by completing the following sentence stem. “Hi. My name is _____.” With your partner, move to a part of the classroom so that you can do the next step of the strategy.

7. Ask your partner the three questions you wrote on section one. As your partner answers the questions. you need to take notes on section two. Your partner will ask you the three questions. You answer them, so your partner can take notes.

8. Read your notes on section two. What would you like to know more about your partner? Circle one thing that you would like to know more about.

9. Reread what you circled on section two. Think about three new questions related to what your circled. Write the three new questions on section three on the second index card.

10. Ask your partner the three questions from section three. Pay attention to the answers given by your partner. Write exact quotes on section four of your index card.

11. Use the third index card to write an introduction of your partner. Use one or more of the exact quotes you wrote on section four to write your partner’s introduction. Introduce your partner to the class. Once you volunteer to share your partner’s introduction, you will throw the stress ball to another student in the classroom so he/she can share.

Use the teacher’s acrostic poem, as well as the Student Samples from AVID as a model for your own acrostic poem. Follow your teacher’s directions to create your own acrostic poem. Use a bilingual dictionary or a dictionary to find adjectives that best describe you.

You will share your acrostic poems by participating in the Parallel Lines strategy.

1. You need to line up in front of the class by your birth month and day. Line up from January to December. Do not talk to one another when you are lining up. Use hand signals to figure out where you belong on the line.

2. Your teacher will divide the line into two. You will then be facing your partner.
