Model ELD Lesson Plan

 

Grade Level: (3rd grade for example)

Proficiency Levels (What are the proficiency levels of the students? "Beginning", "Early Intermediate", "Intermediate", "EarlyAdvanced", and "Advanced")

ELD Domain: (For example: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing)

ELD Strand: (Under the 4 Domains, what are the targeted strands? For example: Under "Reading" you would find Word Analysis, Fluency, Systematic Vocabulary Development etc.)

ELD Standard(s): (*What standards will be addressed in the lesson? For example: Listening and Speaking 1.1 - "Tell, paraphrase, and explain what has been said by a speaker.") *Since ELD instruction is Standards Based, it is absolutely necessary to identify the standard to be addressed in the lesson before other elements of lesson planning are done. This should be your first step in planning the lesson.)

Assessments: (*How will the students demonstrate mastery of the standard? List the assessments to be used in the lesson. *Once the standard has been selected, it is very important to establish how you will measure mastery of the standard. This should be the second step in your actual planning of the lesson.)

Topic: (What is the lesson about? What is the Enduring Understanding or "Big Idea")

Language Objectives: (Key vocabulary)

Materials Needed: (What materials do you need for the lesson)

Lesson: What learning opportunities will you provide for the students? What activities will lead them to successfully meet the standards? List the steps that will be followed in this lesson. Be sure to include the "Into", "Through" and "Beyond" activities you'll be using.

Also, be sure to include the direct instruction that you will deliver to the students.

Objective:

Introduction:

Guided Practice:

Independent Practice:

Next Steps: (The use of the assessments and the data that you collect will guide your next steps)

Guided Practice: (What steps will the teacher lead the students through in order to reinforce the instruction?)

Independent Practice: (What activities will the students do on their own to reinforce the learning?)
