1.  Create three measurable learning objectives related to this standard that each includes a condition, a behavior, and a criterion.

C.  Identify three different 6th grade-appropriate instructional strategies (one for each objective identified in part B1) that could be used in your classroom.
1.  Explain how you could use these three different instructional strategies to teach the learning objectives from part B1.

D.  Identify three different 6th grade-appropriate assessment strategies (one for each objective identified in part B1) that could be used in your classroom.
1.  Explain how you could use these three different assessment strategies to assess the learning objectives from part B1.

E.  Explain how you could incorporate a technology work station to help students meet one or more of the learning objectives identified in part B1.

F.  If you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Note: When using outside sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.

Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from outside sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA Guidelines section.

Part 2 ELL Lesson Plan/Requirements:

Use standard: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
•   Identification of materials/resources for students and teacher
•   Description of prerequisite skills or connections to previous learning (i.e., What previously learned skills are necessary for students to be able to participate in and benefit from the planned lesson?)
•   Explanation of presentation procedures for new information, guided practice, independent practice, and culmination
•   Explanation of differentiated instruction accommodations
•   Explanation of assessment
1.  Include appropriate step-by-step writing instructions to help English language learner students learn the process approach to writing in your lesson plan.
2.  Include one of the following teaching strategies in the instructional sequence of the lesson plan from part A:
• Overall organization
• Basic sentence structure

• Academic language

B.  Include a writing guide in your lesson plan that the ELL students are to follow in their own writing.
