Student Background and Data Collection
Name : Grace
Age: 10
Born: Russia
Grade: 4th
Formal Schooling: Grace came here through an international adoption.
She was in an orphanage in Russia were she also attended school. She
did miss a year of school while still in Russia. She started in our school at
the end of first grade and is now in fourth grade.
Language Proficiency Data: Based on her CELA from third grade she is
LEP
Qualitative Reading Inventory:
Spring Third Grade - Primer level
Spring Fourth Grade – First grade level
CSAP: Because Grace struggles so much with reading and writing she
was able to opt out of the CSAP in third grade and we do not have fourth
grade scored back at this point in the year.
ELD structures identified
• Grace lacks the vocabulary to be descriptive. (
She said, “stuff” often)
• Grace lacks the vocabulary to transition from one
idea to the next. ( She repeated, “Umm,” for each
transition)
• Grace switched her verb tenses. (is, was, are)
• Grace had some grammar mistakes.
Lesson Focus
Vocabulary development was the area we
determined to be Grace’s greatest area of
weakness.
Language objectives:
• The student will learn and practice using verbs
to be used in story telling.
• The student will practice reading skills.
Rationale and Strategy
• This is a very physical and active child. It is
often hard for her to focus in class. This
activity is highly engaging and requires
thinking and moving.
• Because we are teaching verbs we chose
to use an activity that involves total
physical response (TPR).
• The student will be acting out each of the
new verbs introduced in the lesson.
Demonstration
Procedures:
1. Invite the student to play the acting game.
2. Then, ask the student to choose a card from the
stack. Have the student read the card.
3. Invite the child to demonstrate (act out) the word.
4. Repeat this activity until you have used all the
cards.
This activity was adapted from the
Teacher’s Activity Kit by Elizabeth Claire (p.53-98)
The lesson continues…..
1. Next, show the student the page from the book where
this action occurs. Invite the student to use the
vocabulary word, practiced in the previous activity, to
demonstrate the action in the picture.
2. Complete an assessment for understanding by having
the student tell the story again using the same wordless
picture book.
3. When the student is familiar with the new words,
he/she may invite another student to use the pictures to
make puppets. Using the new vocabulary words, the
students, or a group of students could perform a puppet
show.
For example: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AROUND
SEVEN pigs were seen flying in the bright blue sky.
Next steps……
• After successfully playing the action game and
performing a puppet show the student could write
a sentences using each of the vocabulary words.
• The student could write a story using the words to
tell what he/she thinks the pigs might do on their
adventure.
• Another extension would be to teach adjectives.
