Lesson Topic:

Cinderella Introduction Unit (5 days):

Activation of prior knowledge with a picture book of Cinderella will serve as an anchor text, which can then be used with other versions of the
story that reflect cultural diversity.

Lesson 3 Topics include:

Idiomatic Expressions Pre-teach Vocabulary Interactive Reading 1 Interactive Reading 2
Objectives:
Language:
Students will be able to:
Communicate with others in a range of settings (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher- led) about grade-level topics and texts. (SL 4.1)
Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience in an organized manner, using appropriate facts and details to support main ideas
or themes. (SL 4.4)
Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings. (L 4.5)

Content:
Students will be able to:
Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says and when drawing inferences. (RL 4.1)
Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text. (RL 4.4)
Read and comprehend grade-level literature with scaffolding as needed (RL 4.10)
Learning Strategies:
Anticipation Guide- Open dialogue and whole group discussion about the story of Cinderella (previous readings and prior knowledge) to
prepare students and activate prior knowledge
Book Club (flexible groupings)- Students are put into groups to read and discuss literature - allows for mini workshops with teacher for students
that require more support and intervention, allows students moving at a quicker pace to continue
Small Group Workshops- teacher to work with group lowest reading group, (*introduce the text), and provide direct instruction on context
clues, vocabulary, and to lead the interactive readings leading to questions/discussions independent readers to work through tasks in pairs
Guided Questioning/Leveled Questions- When reading a passage, the teacher begins by asking questions that are followed by many clues about
what is happening. Then as comprehension improves, the questions become less supportive.
Vocabulary Instruction- Two types of vocabulary words are taught in this unit. These vocabulary words are selected because they frequently
appear in grade-level texts and are important for comprehension of the story.
*Level 1- These terms are less abstract but might be unfamiliar to ELLs. Teacher provides assistance to help students understand the meaning
of these words before or during the Interactive Reading, using vocabulary instruction techniques such as providing synonyms, using gestures,
pointing to the pictures, or asking students to draw on background knowledge.
*Level 2: These words are more abstract. For further instruction, students are shown word slides, which provide the words definition in
English, its translation in Spanish, and one to two age-appropriate visuals representing the words. Partner Talk activities require students to
discuss questions in pairs that draw on their own background knowledge and experiences. An average of two vocabulary words is instructed each
day using these techniques.
Vocabulary Role Play-encourages learners to make connections to content and vocabulary
Collecting/Processing Words-charting of words discovered through reading and discussion, collaborative vocabulary discussions/activities
Cloze Reading/ Sentence Frames - Students are given sentences or sequences with gaps (missing words) and are asked to fill in the gaps
Interactive Reading (2x)- teacher to lead group through first reading (pages 20-30) (*practicing with small versions of the text), stopping for
predictions, identifying vocabulary, embedding instruction, modeling use of glossary, asking comprehension questions, and leading small group
discussions (*encouraging verbal interactions). Second read (*rereading for additional practice) requires less supportive questions, pair students
to complete graphic organizers together, discuss answers and elaborate or revise as necessary

(*=Strategies found in 50 strategies for teaching English Language Learners)

The above strategies incorporate the following selected SIOP Learning Strategies as outlined in Chapter 5- Strategies of Making Content
Comprehensible for English Learners):
Cognitive: Metacognitive: Language Learning:
Previewing the story before reading Predicting and inferring Applying reading strategies (multiple
Establishing a purpose for learning Generating questions to guide reads)
Making connections to past learning comprehension Making logical guesses based on
Taking notes or outlining Monitoring and clarifying context
Graphic Organizers Determining importance Substituting a known word when
Identifying key vocabulary Summarizing other is unfamiliar
Making mental images Paraphrasing
Key Vocabulary:
Idioms
Mysterious
Astonished
Literal & Actual need to teach/explain, as these apply to definitions used in slide presentation

*Many other vocabulary words visited in lesson (as seen in Student Chart 3C)

Student Chart 3D Comprehension Questions (2nd Read)
Modified version for workshop students *includes sentence frames
Motivation:
To build interest in Idiomatic Expressions- mini activity hooks students:
Idiom: Sit tight! is written on the board.
Meaning: to stay where you are
Teacher: Explains the definition of the idiom and practice the dialogue below. Student will come up with scenarios where they could use this
idiom in context and practice informally and conversationally with peers
Sample dialogue:
Sarah: Sam, are you okay? What happened?
Sam: I fell down the stairs and now my leg really hurts.
Sarah: Sit tight! Ill call the school nurse.
Teacher then tells students we need to investigate our story Cinderella and discover other idiomatic expressions within the text.

(Continued and built upon from previous lesson- sharing alternative versions of the story Cinderella to motivate students to read texts that
represent their culture)
Some examples of Cinderella cultural variations include:

Presentation:
Classroom Set Up:
24 students
6 heterogeneous table groups of 4
Large whiteboard
Flat screen TV for digital presentation materials
Large collaboration table at back of room for workshops

Warm-Up:
Teacher will ask students to discuss in their groups what they remember from reading the story of Cinderella, groups will discuss, teacher to
walk around and monitor discussions.
Teacher to motivate students to continue into the unit by tying their previous knowledge of Cinderella, and making predictions about what will
happen- linking past learning to new concepts with anticipation.
Teacher will state the importance of learning various reading and comprehension skills- providing students with clear purpose of lesson

Intro Lesson & Review

Students to follow along with teacher to learn about idiomatic expressions in English.
Defined as: phrases where the words put together have a meaning that is different from the meanings of each word.
Students to complete the first idiomatic expression together on Student Chart 3A (take a wife)

Teacher to quickly review Context Clues lessons (previous 2 days) to whole class, on large flat screen TV.
Teacher to remind students of Context Clues practice and guide students to underline target word, circle clues, and determine meaning
Students then to complete Student Chart 3B Vocabulary: mysterious and astonished

Workshop
Small group (ELLs or other students requiring direct support as identified in informal assessment) to the collaboration table for support on
Student Chart 3A and 3B.
Teacher to work through and model thinking aloud how to complete task.
Teacher to pre-teach mysterious and astonished using the Vocabulary Lesson slides, as students follow along write definitions and examples
Students will (3A):
First, write the definition of each word.
Then write the definition of the phrase you get when you put the words together. (This is the literal meaning)
Finally, add the real or actual meaning of the idiom
Students will (3B):
Pre-teach mysterious and astonishment
Write each definition in student charts *collecting and processing words
Engage in partner talk to come up with example definitions/sentences *vocabulary role-play and write/draw in their student charts
Share their example sentences with the class
Differentiation two levels:
Whole Class
Student chart 3A and 3B to be completed without direct teacher support, students can work with tablemates and use digital resources
presented to support their learning. Students will work at own pace. Page is modified- worksheet does not include sentence frames for whole-
class group, online links and videos provided for idiom support.
Small Group
Student worksheet 3A will be completed with teacher support and modeling with support from slide presentation.
Student worksheet 3B is similar to previous lesson worksheets- continued practice with context clues with teacher support, as needed
Chart 3B is modified to include sentence frames and Spanish equivalent words
Practice/Application
Interactive Read 1:
Interactive reading of pages 20-30 of the text.
Students reading at appropriate individual reading level to pair up (with previously determined fluency partner) and read, while stopping at
each designated section to answer provided questions.
Students at workshop table to follow along with text as teacher reads aloud
Teacher stops to identify and discuss vocabulary and students refer to glossary- Student Chart 3C
Teacher continues to read and have students read aloud- stops frequently for questions to allow students to engage in dialogue about the
story/vocabulary -supports comprehension
Asking students to predict, analyze, and summarize information along the way, correcting and elaborating on responses as necessary

Interactive Read 2:
Students re-read--if paired previously, 2nd read is done independently and if in small group, students will read in pairs
Students will re-read and then complete Student Chart 3D (higher level thinking- compare/contrast and how/why questions with sentence
frames)- Teacher to monitor reading and worksheet completion
Review answers whole-group, asking for student volunteers, correcting and elaborating as necessary

Differentiation
Re-teaching:
Students working with fluency partners to continue through tasks in a self-directed manner, answering questions without direct teacher
support and feedback. Students completing Read 1 in partners will complete second read and chart 3D alone.
Student Chart 3D (for this group) does not include sentence frames.

Students at workshop table to receive much support, teacher read aloud, teacher questioning/clarifying, guiding students through reading and
glossary checklist, constantly checking for understanding. Teacher to stop and explain concepts, vocabulary, details of text throughout
Interactive Read 1. Student Chart 3D- modified to include sentence frames and support.

Throughout Read 2, teacher to monitor student work, discussions, and identify areas of growth or needs for re-teaching. Students identified as
needing further support, will continue to work with teacher and benefit from further direct instruction. Students that demonstrate
understanding will continue without teacher support.
Review and Assessment (examples of two types- formative and summative):
INFORMAL Assessment
Monitoring Student Discussions/Partner Talk teacher to listen to student discussions and make note of understanding or misconceptions,
clarifying when necessary
Questioning teacher to ask questions about context clues, vocabulary, and the text to determine understanding, making note when
challenges for students arise
Student Chart 3A- Idiomatic Expressions worksheet: will determine understanding of idiomatic expressions, literal and actual definitions- used
informally, as formative assessment, to determine what further instruction is necessary.

FORMAL Assessment
Student Chart 3B- Context Clues- will determine understanding of identifying word meaning through use of context clues. Scores on this
worksheet can be used to determine which students require re-teaching.

Student Chart 3D- Comprehension Summative worksheet: allow students to demonstrate comprehension of text and answer higher order
thinking skills (compare/contrast and how/why questions).
Scores on this worksheet can be used to determine which students require re-teaching
Both forms of assessment allow me to identify which students have grasped the necessary concepts, knowledge, and skills required to continue
throughout the unit and which students would benefit from further support and instruction.

The formal assessments (student charts 3B and 3D) do come in modified versions, which allow students to show mastery at appropriate levels,
by accommodating for language needs.
