  1. The SIOP Model Teaching ENL Students

  2. His orbs scintillant luminosity, while his submaxillary dermal indentations gave every evidence of engaging amiability. The capillaries of his malar regions and nasal appurtenance were engorged with blood which suffused the subcutaneous layers, the former approximating the coloration of Albion’s floral emblem, the latter that of the Prunus avium. His amusing sub- and supralabials resembled nothing so much as a common loop knot, and their ambient hirsute facial adornment appeared like small, tabular and columnar crystals of frozen water.

  3. His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

  4. What is the SIOP model • Sheltered instruction (SIOP) is an approach for teaching content to English learners (ELs) in strategic ways that make the subject matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the students’ English language development. • Echevarria, Vogt, and Short-Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners, page 2

  5. The Eight Steps of a SIOP Lesson • 1. Preparation • 2. Building Background • 3. Comprehensible Input • 4. Strategies • 5. Interaction • 6. Practice/Application • 7. Lesson Delivery • 8. Review/Assessment

  6. Ideas for Preparation • Write content and language objectives on the board. • Create Outlines for notes, so that students can just fill in the blanks while trying to follow along. • Highlighted Text- If your department can spare a few textbooks, highlight important vocabulary and ideas in the text before you teach that unit.

  7. Ideas for Preparation • Marginal notes- As well as highlighting text, you could also place simplified definitions or notes in the margins. If you can’t write in the text, use post-its. • Taped/Adapted text • Watching the films before the unit or book. If you don’t want the rest of the class to pre-watch, ask Mrs. Dunn or I to let them watch it in our room during our free times, before, or after school.

  8. Building Background Ideas • Try to link concepts to students’ background experience. • Have students create personal dictionaries • Content Word Walls in classrooms • Concept Definition Map • Visual Vocabulary with pictures- I have found Google to be useful for this.

  9. Comprehensible Input Ideas • Use appropriate speech. • Small group instruction • At least 2 different grouping structures should be used during a lesson. • Thumbs up/ Thumbs down- agree/disagree type responses • Numbered wheels or fingers-Use for multiple choice • Response boards- dry-erase mini boards. Students can give answers in unison to avoid embarrassment.

  10. Ideas for Strategies • Hand out has a many wonderful strategies throughout to use. • Strategy One: Preview and Predict • Step One: Students skim a text by looking at pictures, bold words, and captions. • Step Two: Partners- In partners, students either write a complete sentence or make picture of what they believe will be covered. • Step Three: Regroup- Place pairs together to share their ideas. • Step Four: Place ideas on board and discuss. • Step Five: Read the selection.

  11. Ideas for Strategies • Strategy Two: GIST • Step One: Students read a selection and pick 10 important words out. • Step Two: From words, students will write summarizing sentence. • Step Three: Write statements on board. • Step Four: Read selection and cross out summaries that don’t work and keep ones that do.

  12. Ideas for Strategies • Strategy Three: Graffiti Write • Step One: Each team is located next to chart paper. A topic is then given by teacher. • Step Two: At the same time, teams will write thoughts and questions on topic. • Step Three: Students will then rotate to new station and try to answer other teams questions or pose new ideas after reading comments. • Step Four: Post interesting results.

  13. Ideas for Interaction • Provide many opportunities for interaction and discussion. • Use a variety of grouping configurations • Four corners • Roundtable • Writing headlines for summarizing • Jigsaw • Information gap activities

  14. Ideas for Practice and Application • Lots of hands-on materials • Integrate reading, writing, speaking, and listening into each lesson. • Small groups and partners • Reporting orally

  15. Lesson Delivery • Clearly support content and language objectives. • Engage students • Reduce teacher talk • Pace rate that you give information according to levels in your classroom • Give enough time to accomplish tasks

  16. Review and Assessment • Review key vocabulary • Review Key Concepts • Use a variety of quick reviews such as the following: • Agree/Disagree • Thumbs up/ thumbs down • Numbered wheels • Response boards
