The 8 Components of SIOP

Lesson Preparation Building Background Planned lessons that enable students to make connections, practice language and internalize academic vocabulary.

Teachers must make explicit and direct links between past learning and new concepts. Emphasize key vocabulary in context.

Topic

K W L What I Already What I Need to What I Know Find Out Learned

Comprehensible Input StrategiesTeacher must use speech that is appropriate to students’ proficiency level. The explanation of tasks must be clear in step-by-step manner using visuals.

Use techniques, methods and mental processes that enhance comprehension for learning and retaining information.

Provide information in Oral and Written form

Make connections Clarify/Monitor Ask questions Summarize Visualize Predict Infer

Re-read Take-Notes Highlight Map information Find key words

Page 47: Social Studies 8th Grade Curriculum Guide€¦ · Azael Arredondo, K – 12th Social Studies Specialist Grade Marcos Garza Esmeralda Garcia-Portales Christie Garcia Alexia Alvarado

Interaction Practice and Application Use cooperative learning structures to promote discussion and opportunities for language practice.

Hands-on activities and materials that enable students to make connections between abstract and concrete concepts.

Working Together Towards One Goal

- Opportunities for interaction and engagement

- Group configurations (pairs, triads) - Wait time for student responses - Opportunity to clarify in L1

Use Manipulatives

Games

Short practice time

Language Practice

Lesson Delivery Review and Assessment The extent students are engaged in the lesson and how appropriate the pace of the lesson is to students’ abilities.

Incorporate review and assessment into the daily lessons to assess student learning and effective teaching. This involves reviewing important concepts, providing constructive feedback and making instructional decisions based on student response.

People remember:

- 10% of what they read - 20% of what they hear - 30% of what they see - 50% of what they see and hear - 80% of what they tell - 90% of what they do
