ELD Unit 2 Grade: 2

Tasks

Quick Write (Week 1):

Where is your favorite place to visit? Why is it your favorite?

Where would you like to visit? Why?

Would you rather travel in an airplane or a train? Why?

Would you rather visit the mountains or the ocean? Why?

Name three items you would pack to visit the Rocky Mountains. Why did you choose those items?

Quick Write (Week 2):

 Where is the worst place you visited? Why didn’t you like it?

Imagine you were visiting the Great Lakes. Would you rather go fishing or waterskiing? Why?

Would you rather go scuba diving in the Pacific Ocean or snowboarding on the Rocky Mountains? Why?

Draw a map that has a lake, mountain range, river, map key, and compass rose.

Discussion: Use the partner discussion routine, as outlined in the first quarter unit, for discussions about the Quick Write. *Discussions are wonderful opportunities to further build academic vocabulary.

Partner discussion routine:

A part of ELD needs to be improving oral language. Spending time to develop oral language through partner sharing can be beneficial. In order to maximize your time, it is key to teach the children how you’d like them to communicate with each other. Practicing discussion routines may take the entire

ELD time for one week. If not, the tasks following the discussion routines can be taught.

Label desks with an A and a B, so students can quickly know when it will be their time to talk. Explain to the students that no matter where they are sitting they will know if they are partner A or partner B.

Create a classroom chart, as a class, about what good listening looks like and/or rules for having a successful discussion.

Example:

Good listeners:

 look at who is speaking.

 listen without interrupting or moving around.

 nod their head when they agree.

 ask a question to find out more; when appropriate.

Successful discussions:

 have one person speaking at a time.

 have good listeners.

Practice having a partner discussion. Tell the students…

You will give them a topic to discuss with their partner.

Only one partner will be speaking at a time.

They will have a set amount of time to share. (The time will be based on the subject you give).

You will decide who goes first.

When time is up, they must stop talking and look at you.

3 Revised 10/8/14

ELD Unit 2 Grade: 2

Vocabulary:

Lead the class in a directed draw of the classroom. Add a compass rose, map key, title, and date. Discuss the features of the map, as you draw it. Students can present their map to a partner, or small group.

Comprehension:

Choose a nonfiction book from your classroom or school library to read to the students. (One book for week one and another book for week two)

Discuss the text features in the book and how they help the reader understand the text.

Choose a paragraph that has a clear main idea and discuss what the main idea is.

Grammar / Writing:

Review nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs

Build-A-Sentence Activity:

Write a (simple) sentence. For example, The dog ran.

Label the verb and discuss what the subject and predicate are.

Discuss how the sentence does not give a lot of information and that it can be made better. Ask what adjectives could be added. You can list the adjectives or just keep it as a discussion.

Choose one of the adjectives and write the new sentence under the first one. For example, The black dog ran.

Discuss how the new sentence is better because it adds more details. Talk about how you can now add an adverb to make the sentence even better.

Brainstorm adverbs (like you did with adjectives) and then write the newest sentence under the second one. For example, The black dog ran quickly. (It is best to keep adverbs to words that end in –ly).

Discuss how the third sentence is better than the first because of the details. Ask the students where the dog ran. You can list their ideas or keep it as a discussion.

Choose one idea and rewrite the sentence. For example, The black dog ran quickly in the backyard.

Optional: Label the words in each sentence: Adjective (adj), Noun (n), Verb (v), Adverb (adv). Divide the subject and predicate with a long vertical line. Circle the subject. Underline the predicate. o An adverb is one word that answers where, when, or how.

The first few times Build-A-Sentence is done, it should be done whole class. After demonstrating how to complete the activity, you can have the students copy the sentences on a paper. Once the students have a better understanding of the activity, partners can work together. Eventually, they can do it on their own. Depending on your class, it may take several weeks of practice for the students to do the activity on their own.
