COE Lesson Plan Template

COE Lesson Plan Template

Part 1: Lesson Plan

For this assignment, create a lesson plan for integrated English language development (ELD) instruction that integrates ELLs’ cultural values and beliefs. Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” address the following:

  • Using your clinical field experience classroom as the context for planning the lesson, select the grade level, a content area standard, and at least one of the 10 Arizona English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards that supports the lesson.
  • Complete all sections of the lesson plan template, focusing specifically on aligning objectives, instruction, and assessments to the content area academic and ELP standards selected.
  •  Include both the content area academic and ELP standards within the “National/State Learning Standards” section of the template.
  • Differentiation should address ELLs’ language differences, giftedness, and special education needs.

Part 2: Reflection

Write a 250 reflection explaining how your lesson plan integrates ELLs’ cultural values and beliefs in the context of teaching and learning. Include a description of how your lesson planning and focus would be different, if you were to develop a targeted ELD lesson, instead of the integrated lesson you designed.

Part 1: Lesson Plan

Grade Level: 4th Grade

Content Area Standard:

  • Social Studies Standard: SS04-S1C2-01: Describe the cultural and geographic systems associated with local and global environments.

Arizona English Language Proficiency Standard:

  • ELP Standard 6: Use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English.

Lesson Objective:

  • Students will be able to describe and compare cultural and geographic systems associated with local and global environments, using their prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English.

Materials Needed:

  • Maps showing local and global environments
  • Pictures or artifacts representing different cultures
  • Chart paper and markers

Introduction (10 minutes):

  1. Begin by asking students to share what they know about different cultures and environments.
  2. Show pictures or artifacts representing different cultures and ask students to describe what they see.
  3. Introduce the concept of cultural and geographic systems associated with local and global environments.

Instruction (30 minutes):

  1. Divide students into small groups and provide each group with a map showing a local environment and a map showing a global environment.
  2. Ask students to compare and contrast the cultural and geographic systems depicted in the two environments.
  3. Encourage students to use their prior knowledge and experiences to discuss the similarities and differences they observe.
  4. Facilitate a whole-class discussion, allowing each group to share their findings and insights.

Practice (20 minutes):

  1. Distribute chart paper and markers to each group.
  2. Instruct students to create a Venn diagram comparing the cultural and geographic systems of local and global environments.
  3. Circulate among groups to provide support and guidance as needed.
