I will ensure that each group is using the vocabulary in the correct manner during the lesson and use it while we go over the challenge as a whole group.
b. Language Function. Using information about your students’ language assets and needs, identify one language function essential for students to develop and practice the central focus of your instruction. The language function that is essential for students to learn within the central focus is to analyze. The central focus calls for students to demonstrate their knowledge of multiplying fractions. In order to do this, students must be able to analyze and solve multiplying fractions problems successfully with complete understanding.
c. Identify a key learning task from your plans that provides students with opportunities to practice using the language function in ways that support learning.
While completing the Hershey bar challenge, students will have to work in their groups and analyze the problems in order to determine the correct answer. Students will have a manipulative to work with and also an area to shade the correct answer on their recording …show more content…
Monitoring Student Learning
Refer to the assessment(s) submitted in your responses.
a. Describe how your planned formal and informal assessments will provide direct evidence of your students conceptual understanding. The informal challenge assessment will allow me to mentally document which students are able to take a fraction and shade that portion in on the chart. During whole group, the activity will clarify if the students were able to recall the information they learned in previous grades. The formal assessment will allow me to document which students understood the lesson and which students should be pulled for remediation before continuing with the next lesson.
b. Explain how the design or adaptation of your planned assessments allows students with specific needs to demonstrate their learning. Consider the variety of learners in your class who may require different strategies/support (i.e. students with IEPs or 504 plans, English language learners, struggling readers, underperforming students or those with gaps in academic knowledge, and/or gifted
