8. 8 Components Lesson Preparation Building Background Comprehensible Input Strategies Interaction Practice and Application Lesson Delivery Review & Assessment

9. 8 SIOP Components Questions to ask   1. Lesson Preparation Does the lesson plan include content and language objectives, supplemental materials, and meaningful activities? 2. Building Background How will I connect with what students already know? 3. Comprehensible Input How will I adjust, so students will understand?   4. Strategies How can I teach students strategies to help themselves ? 5. Interaction Are students in groups where they can interact ? 6. Practice and Application Will students get to practice the new content and language ? 7. Lesson Delivery Does the lesson meet the objectives? Are students engaged ? 8. Review and Assessment Did students learn? What feedback will I give them?  

10. Checklist for SIOP Lesson Plans Look over this checklist with a partner. Talk about it with each other. Do you understand them all? Which ones do you need help understanding?

11. Video Watch the video: 3 rd grade Fact vs. opinion Lesson Delivery Think: Are the elements in the checklist present in the lesson? The video can be found at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVGbz4EqyGs

12. Discuss with a Partner Were the elements of the checklist present in the lesson? What do you think was effective about the lesson? What do you think was ineffective?

13. SIOP Lesson Plan Study In groups look at one of the four lesson plans. (Hint: Notice the abbreviation key.) First, try to talk through what is happening in the lesson: K-2: T-chart, signal words, sentence frames 3-5: 4-Corners Vocabulary 6-8: Anticipation Guide 9-12: Character Map Second, see if you can identify the SIOP elements. Finally, think about ways these approaches could be used with the national curriculum.

14. Group sharing Tell about the activities in your lesson plan. What was interesting for you about the lesson plan you saw? What questions do you still have about it?
