ORGANIZE FOR JIGSAW

Letter Off: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR Form Expert groups: ABCD will read components 1 and 2; EFGH will read components 3 and 4; IJKL

will read components 5 and 6; MNOPQR will read components 7 and 8. Pair off and read something say something

with 2 components assigned.

STEP 1- LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Write TWO learning objectives for each lesson. Write Content/Language objectives on the

board.

WHAT IS A LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE?

What vocabulary are you going to teach? How are you going to assess it?

There is a strong correlation between vocabulary knowledge and student achievement

Select fewer key terms to focus on Explicitly teach “school language”—ex.

Identify, compare, summarize, define…

STEP 2 BUILDING BACKGROUND

Build vocabulary. (Key words in the text)

Fill in gaps in content knowledge. (Teach noun when teaching plural nouns)

Give social context. (What is a game show?)

FRONT LOAD VOCABULARY

ELLs need to use a word 20x’s to get it as opposed to 7 times for non-ELLs

Phys Ed/2nd Grade (Octopus Tag) Run, Tag, Freeze

STEP 3 – MAKE IT EASY TO UNDERSTAND

Use visuals and manipulative. Use gestures. Write down and repeat directions. Modify your speech.  Use shorter, less complex

sentences.  Don’t use baby talk or a loud voice. Give second chance learning opportunities. Tie it to their lives.

Give explicit instruction on how to… Find key details Use references Find answers in text Take notes Use higher order thinking

STEP 4 – TEACH LEARNING STRATEGIES

Use different kinds of discussion methods. Give students wait time. Give bilingual supports.

STEP 5 - INTERACTION

DISCUSSION METHODS

Pair-Share: Students share in pairs and then share with the

whole class Small group discussion:

Groups of three or four work together. Try to assign different roles for each student so no one is left out.

Whole group discussion: Open questions up for the whole group to discuss,

debate, etc. Individual answers:

Students answer individually. Give wait time and let students have time to think.

QUESTIONING

JUST SAY NO to yes/no questions. A sas is a kind of madár. It étkezik hal. Questions students when you give

directions. What do you have to do? What is first or number 1? What is next?

Integrate all language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Hands-on materials or manipulatives for student practice.

STEP 6 - PRACTICE

Students should be engaged 90-100 % of the time. Find graphic organizers that correlate to focus

skills.

STEP 7 - PACING

Make modifications to reduce the language difficulty. Try to keep content as close as possible to its original form.

STEP 8 - REVIEW

TEST TAKING STRATEGIES LOG FOR TEACHERS(ADAPTED FROM ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AND ASSESSMENT)

How have I…? Strategies and Activities

Pointed out the text structures and conceptual references used in tests in ways that ELLs understand?

Pointed out difficult language structures, grammar, and spelling?

Pre-taught content and academic vocabulary needed for this assessment?

Built background experience and knowledge about test taking?

ACT IT OUT

Now, using the vocabulary that we learned today, act out a conversation with a partner. Here is the scenario: You are talking to a teacher that just learned

that he/she is going to ELLs for the first time this upcoming school year.

The teacher is skeptical about doing anything different for his/her ELLs.

Explain to him/her why SIOP can work for these new students.
