8/14/2019 Unit 1 (LLs, Grades 3-5)
1/22
Your unit plan should enable you to answer the following questions:
What exactly will my students be able to do at the end of this unit and why is this important for my Big Goal? How will I know that my students have reached mastery at the end of this unit? Can I describe what mastery
looks like? How did I organize the learning of this unit to build logically so that students arent expected to do something
that they are not prepared to do?
Unit Title: Whats In a Story?
Unit Vision:
Reading:In this unit, I want my students to learn vocabulary and strategies for talking about storiesand their own reading. We will start with story elements vocabulary (at a first and secondgrade level) to learn how excellent readers/superstar ESL students talk about books. Wewill then move on to cause and effect. We will return to cause and effect prior to testing inthe spring. The important part here is to pick up the vocabulary, get comfortable withgraphic organizers, and engage in some meta-thinking about making inferences. Next, we
will talk briefly about character traits. This, too, will be explored in more depth later on. Inthis first unit, I want students to get comfortable identifying character traits as they readand, using vocabulary-building resources in the classroom, such as illustrated word boxesas they work.
Writing:I will be asking students to write to me in a dialogue journal all year. To kick this off, wewill begin our writing instruction with a series of lessons on how to write a friendly letter. Iwant students to feel extremely comfortable with this format, and to see how useful it is inday-to-day life!

Additional InformationLesson Plan Ideas: (Optional) Potential Student Misunderstandings: (Optional)
When introducing story elements, make a big deal outof the importance of using academic (school)language. It makes us sound so smart! Were notgoing to say the guy in the story is tall. Were goingto say the main character in the story is tall. Muchbetter!
To introduce cause and effect (and making inferencesgenerally), use example where the kids are characters.For example, set up columns of causes and effects. If
the cause is Bhishma eats to much ice cream whatis the effect? If the effect is Jonathan gets 100% on
his math quiz
what was the cause? Then transitioninto an example from a read aloud.
True newcomers are really going to struggle with thisunit. Thats ok! They will most likely be able to accessthe English to a Beat! stories. Also consider pullingnewcomers alone for chunking. This means teachingphrases or sentences that they will need to get throughthe day at school. Consider assessing them with justthe matching exercise and some chunked language.Make sure they, too, are successful in your classroom.

Teachers resources:
Passage for the listening section ( Montgomery County Public Schools):
Hellen Keller was a tall, thin woman. She had beautiful blue eyes like the color of the sky, but Helen could not see with her eyes. She was blind.
Helen could not see and she could not hear. She also did not know how to talk. She could not say how she was feeling or thinking.
When Helen was a little girl, she had a special teacher named Annie Sullivan. Annie showed Helen how to talk using her hands. Annie showedHelen how to read and write with Braille. Braille is a way blind people can read. People who cant see read Braille with their fingers.
Hellen worked hard. She learned how to learn, talk, read, and write. When she was 20 years old, she went to college. In her life, Helen helped many
blind and deaf people. She gave speeches and wrote many books. Today people all over the world know that Helen was a very brave, helpful
person.
