Mini-Lesson Modification for ENG2D/Creative Writing Unit

STEP (Profile Considerations)


Step 3
At the end of Step 3, students can understand and respond to simplified oral English texts related to content areas and personal topics, with supports such as pre-taught vocabulary, activating prior knowledge and discussing the topic in first language (L1) with a partner.  In English, they communicate ideas and information using compound sentences. Students use an expanded range of key academic vocabulary in small and whole group settings.  They still require support using conversational strategies to maintain fluency.


NOTE: Students completing this in class activity would generally (at the tenth grade level would be either at STEP three or possibly moving to STEP 4.

2.3 Clarity and Coherence
Modified OLB According to the "Oral Criterion" Rubric

The study, Tom (earlier mentioned in the previous post as our case study) is a great student struggling to find enjoyment in writing. It is likely that he will not enjoy talking about writing either. With the difficulties in motivation and understanding in regards to his writing, it is expected that the explanations which Tom gives in the Sharing Circle today, will not be in-depth or necessarily providing himself or classmates with good feedback.

Most students (ELL) participating in this class/lesson should be at STEP 4 in order to be participating at a beneficial level. Other suggestions as "mini-lessons" were included in the lesson plan in the based out through the TPT link.
