week 6

Scenario: You are an educator in an elementary mainstream class with a diverse population of students. Your class population includes a variety of academic and language proficiency levels including 2 students at the Emergent level, 2 students at the Basic level, 2 students at Intermediate level, and 2 students who have recently been reclassified as Fluent English Proficient according to the Arizona English Language Learner Assessment (AZELLA).

Part 1: Lesson Plan

Use the Lesson Plan Template to develop a 30- to 45-minute lesson plan for an elementary grade level and content area of your choice. Be sure to align your lesson to the English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards.

Note: Consider using your Wk 1 – Lesson Plan Objectives and Outline assignment as a resource.

Include opportunities for reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language (grammar & vocabulary) in your lesson plan. Incorporate skills and strategies that address each of those domains.

Integrate  the 3 UDL guidelines in your lesson plan:

1. Multiple Means of Representation (What)
2. Multiple Means of Action and Expression (How)
3. Multiple Means of Engagement (Why)

Part 2: Reflection

Write a 350- to 525-word reflection on your lesson plan that includes a rationale for the following:

• Selection of ELP standards for the lesson
• Modifications for comprehensible input for the proficiency levels represented in the class (Pre-Emergent, Emergent, Basic, Intermediate, Fluent English Proficient)
• Instructional strategies and technology integration to promote a high level of student engagement and interaction
• Modifications for students’ affective needs, cultural backgrounds, and learning styles (including timely provisions for individual students with learning needs)
