English Language Learner Lesson Plan
This lesson plan was created for the fifth grade class at the Academy of Smyrna. The class who will be benefiting from this lesson plan has 3 English language learner (ELL) students ranging from beginner to advanced. This lesson plan was created to teach students what the water cycle is and why it is important. The lesson was created using the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model, which includes detailed lesson planning, and a thorough delivery system. It is the SIOP model standard that teachers thoroughly explain what is expected of the student, what they need to know and what information they need to obtain knowledge in both language and content. Teachers who use the SIOP model understand that you cannot teach a child a certain subject until they understand all key factors; they need to start from the beginning and gradually work their way to further understanding (Vogt, Echevarria, & Short, 2008). During this lesson plan, students will be asked to work together to create collaborative learning however, each individual student will be accountable for their own portion. Once this lesson plan is completed, students will be able to explain what the water cycle is, the key phases and understand all the vocabulary words.
