Academic Language

Successes Challenges

Objectives for today…. Teachers will be able to: recognize opportunities for creating language objectives to reinforce content write a language objective for a content topic and create an activity to support the objective

Big Ideas Effective lessons maximize opportunities for learning by incorporating content and language objectives that reinforce reading, writing, listening and speaking. Objectives must be made explicit to students so they know what they are expected to learn each day.

Model SIOP Lesson Unit: Geography SOL 3.5 The student will develop map skills by: b) using the equator and prime meridian to identify the four hemispheres e) locating specific places on a simple letter-number grid system

Key Terms (from APS social studies curriculum guide) cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) coordinates location hemisphere Equator Prime Meridian northern, southern, eastern, western grid

Objectives for Students Today we will practice map skills by locating a place on the map using a grid name the hemisphere the place is in To practice using the geography words, we will: tell sentences to a partner about the location listen to a partner’s sentences and politely agree or disagree

My coordinates are _________. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 D C B A Equator Prime Meridian North West South East My coordinates are _________. My location is __________ of the Equator in the ___________ hemisphere. My location is __________ of the Prime Meridian in the _____________ hemisphere. Do you agree? ************************************ Yes, I agree with you. No, I don’t agree with you. I think the location is ___________ of the ____________ (Equator or Prime Meridian) in the ________________ hemisphere.

Instructions….. 1) Mark a location on your world map grid. 2) Practice saying your sentences to yourself. 3) When teacher says “go”, find your partner and tell your locations to each other. Tell if you agree or disagree with your partner. 4) Repeat the activity with two more partners.

SIOP Lesson Reflection Jot down strategies observed that could benefit struggling learners II. How could this kind of speaking/listening activity be adapted for your teaching assignment and students?

How do I carry out an effective language objective? 1. Post your key vocabulary and refer to the words throughout the activity. 2. Tell students the language objective for this activity. 3. Model the activity for students, emphasizing the key vocabulary they are to practice. 4. Allow students to practice independently. 5. Assess mastery. 6. Review the objective at the end of class.
