Due Week 8
After reviewing the SIOP and sample lesson plans for the grade levels of your choice, develop a differentiated lesson plan in any of the following content areas: mathematics, science, social studies, arts, language arts, health education or physical education. The teaching context for this lesson plan is as follows: the class is a general education class for a grade level of your choice. The students come from a variety of socio-economic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. In this class, there are several English language learners. They do not all share the same home language; none of them speak Spanish. Some are at a beginning level of English language development; some are at an intermediate level; and some are at an advanced level. Include the following in your lesson plan:
1. Differentiated components in the lesson to address EACH of the three proficiency language levels – beginning, intermediate and advanced.
2. The home language and culture of an ELL group of your choice
3. Student use of technology in the lesson, such as an application like Kahoot, Nearpod, or Zoom
