  2. About My Class • Katherine Cohen • Greenberg Elementary • 7th Grade Reading/Language Arts • Three 90-minute blocks • 25 students in each class • 3 ELLs in each class, levels 1-3

  3. Novel Unit • Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry • By Mildred E. Taylor • Newbery Medal Winner • Historical Fiction Novel • African- American family - Deep South - Great Depression. • Told from 8 year old Cassie’s point of view • The Logans fight the Night Riders, by instituting a boycott. • T.J. is framed for killing a white man and is about to be lynched along with Mr. Logan and Mr. Morrison. • The Logans are able to stop the lynching. • Cassie realizes T.J. will probably be sentenced to death.

  4. Accessing Prior Knowledge • Journal Entry: Write everything you know about trials and how they work. • Class discussion of trials • relate to trials on TV and in movies • vocabulary: jury, judge, prosecution, defense, witnesses, questioning • purpose of and steps in a trial • Relate to T.J. and the end of the book • Go through directions and script carefully

  5. Scaffolding • Cooperative Learning • Grouping: teacher selected or self selected • Highly structured script • Defined roles • Teacher support

  6. Assessment • Students create rubrics • script • performance • creates student ownership • Options: • Self and group reflections • Peer evaluation

  7. Principles of TESOL • Integration of Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking • Context Reduced, Cognitively Demanding Input • (higher level novel, abstract concept of trials) • Activating prior knowledge and pre-teaching vocabulary • Cooperative learning • Structured Script • High levels of engagement • Teacher support • Context Embedded, Cognitively Demanding Input • Output in both writing and speaking • Authentic Assessment of Learning
