Complete Option 1: Reading Lesson or Option 2: Writing Lesson below.
Option 1: Reading Lesson
Scenario: After reviewing your class’s English learners’ AZELLA score reports, you have decided to conduct a small group reading intervention with a few of your English learners. You will plan a Targeted ELD lesson for a small group of English learners at the Basic level. Your driving standards will be ELP Standards 1 or 2. ELP Standards 1–2 represent receptive communication, which supports listening and reading.
Select a secondary grade level (6–12).
Access the following ELP Standards for your chosen secondary grade level:
- Arizona English Language Proficiency Standards Grades 6–8
- Arizona English Language Proficiency Standards Grades 9–12
Review ELP Standards 1 and 2 and choose an ELP Standard and at least 1 sub-skill in the Basic level (B-1, B-2, B-3, etc.) to focus on in your lesson. Pay attention to the reading standards it aligns with in the ELA Standard Alignment column. You will also link your lesson to the ELA Reading standards.
Review ELP Standards 9 and 10 as well, and determine if any of these Language standards/sub-skills apply to your lesson. Remember, ELP Standards 9 and 10 are Language standards that focus on vocabulary and grammar.
Use the Reading Lesson Template to create a 20- to 30-minute small-group lesson (Targeted ELD) that will assess your chosen standard(s) and include differentiated instructional strategies to support your English learners.
Option 2: Writing Lesson
Scenario: After reviewing your students’ most recent writing assignments, you have noticed your English learners are struggling with foundational writing skills. You have decided to conduct a small group writing intervention. You will plan a Targeted ELD lesson for a small group of English learners at the Basic level. Your driving standards will be ELP Standards 3, 4, or 5. ELP Standards 3–5 represent productive communication, which supports speaking and writing.
Select a secondary grade level (6–12).
Access the following ELP Standards for your chosen secondary grade level:
- Arizona English Language Proficiency Standards Grades 6–8
- Arizona English Language Proficiency Standards Grades 9–12
Review ELP Standards 3, 4, and 5 and choose an ELP Standard and at least 1 sub-skill in the Basic level (B-1, B-2, B-3, etc.) to focus on in your lesson. Pay attention to the writing standards it aligns to in the ELA Standard Alignment column. You will also link your lesson to the ELA Writing standards.
Review ELP Standards 9 and 10 as well, and determine if any of these Language standards/sub-skills apply to your lesson. Remember, ELP Standards 9 and 10 are Language standards that focus on vocabulary and grammar.
Use the Writing Lesson Template to create a 20- to 30-minute small group lesson (Targeted ELD) that will assess your chosen standards and include differentiated instructional strategies to support your English learners.
