READ520: Modified Lesson Plan #1

Teacher: Donna Moore Grade Level: Kindergarten

Subject: Reading Unit or Chapter: Zoo Animals

Acquisition stages of the ELs in my class:


● 1 student - Starting (Level 1)
● 2 students - Developing (Level 3)

1. What are the ELL or content area standards?

Standard 2: English language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts


necessary for academic success in the area of language arts.

2. What key concepts will students learn, and what strategies will be used to
teach them?
The students will learn the key concepts of listening and speaking. The strategies that
will be used are to go over what a good listener looks like, show them a diagram of a
good listener. Preteach vocabulary words that are most difficult and show pictures.
After reading lesson we will work with partners and have EL students with native
speakers repeating sentences or words for review.
Provide sentence stems for students to utilize as they share their thinking
Allow students to share what they recall/ know about zoos.

3. What background knowledge will students need? All students will need
background knowledge for this lesson. They will need background knowledge on what
a zoo is and the animals in the zoo.

4. List terms, words, idioms, and phrases (TWIPs) to be pretaught. Include


simple student-friendly definitions. Identify words that are likely to be used
outside of class as well as academic words that are content-specific.
Bring out some zoo animal figures and a "zoo" (basket). Place one of the animals in
the zoo. Words: giraffe, zebra, hippopotamus and alligator. “I see the giraffe with a
long neck.” I see the zebra with black and white stripes.” I see the hippopotamus in
