Quiz 3

Using the sheltered content instruction strategies identified in chapter 4, describe how you would meet the following Texas education standards with activities that develop each of the four skills. You can only use each activity once. (1 point each)

Subject/Grade

Standard

Reading

Writing

Speaking

Listening

Social Studies

Grade 10

History

analyze causes and effects of significant issues such as Prohibition

Students preview vocabulary by label an image and then read an authentic article written in 1919 linking alcohol and domestic abuse.

Students create an annotated timeline of the political events that led to and helped abolish prohibition.

Students plan and conduct a debate about lowering the legal age for alcohol in the U.S.

Students watch a video about jazz music performed in speakeasies during prohibition and discuss the contribution of African-American artists in history.

Math

Grade 6

Geometry and spatial reasoning

The student can use angle measurements to classify angles as acute, obtuse, or right

Students preview the related vocabularies by learning a words list teacher provides on the board. And students will do a partner reading together about the definition of geometry and real life’s application.

Students will draw a geometric graph with different angles and real life’s examples. For example, right angle can come a part of flag.

Students will talk to their partners how the geometry of different angles can help in real life and what is interest and different uses in their own culture. For example, windows usually have right angles and pyramids have acute angles.

Students watch a video about the different architecture around the world and discuss the different trait containing in those architecture.

Social Studies

Grade 10/11

U.S. History

The student understands the economic effects of World War II

Teachers will preview the new vocabularies and terms on the boards. Students will read a short, morning newspaper article about the big recession from 1929~1933.

Students can create an annotated map of different economic crises in different countries or areas.

Students will do a gallery walk which shows different pictures about different economic effect of world war II and talk to their partner about their thoughts looking after.

Students will share how economic effect of their own history and the cultural differences. Teachers can show an example first.

Science

Grade 9

Earth and space

The student can identify the role of the oceans in the formation of weather systems such as hurricanes

Teachers will bulletin out the new vocabularies on the board. Students will read a short science magazine article about the formation of weather systems and how oceans play a role in it.

Students will join into groups and draw the formation of rain cycle starts from the sublimation of the ocean’s hot air to the formation of rain. And label each term correctly in the Realia made by teachers.

Students will share with their partners about their personal opinions of the role of ocean and how it relates to weather information.

Students will listen to a speech of meteorologist of the impact of the ocean on weather systems. And discuss with each other the possible way to protect the ocean.

Choose true or correct each false statement. (1 point each)

_________F______ a. Ethnomathmatics discourages teaching global topics and perspectives in math.

Ethonomathmatic courage teaching global topics and perspectives in math. Ethnomathmatics was form by the interaction with cultural anthropology and academical mathematics and applying mathematical skills to solve real life problems. (p. 141 http://people.dm.unipi.it/favilli/Ethnomathematics_Proceedings_ICME10.pdf )

_________F______ b. Academic language proficiency in math and science takes from 5-10 years to develop.

Academic language proficiency in math and science takes from 2-3 years to develop. Because since the language in math and science is not like the normal academic language. Language in math is a global language. Students with high proficiency in math under their native tone will feel

_________T______ c. Social studies rely heavily on high level literary skills.

_________F______ d. Students’ heritage culture should be avoided in social studies instruction.

Students’ heritage culture should not be avoided in social studies instruction. Because incorporate class with student’s own cultures will not only provide a diverse classroom environment but also show respect to students’ different home culture and it is better way to interactive students in content.

_________T______ e. The text identifies 12 strands of social studies to be incorporated into thematic units.

Pick two of the following themes and describe how you would connect math, science and social studies into a thematic unit. Identify one activity for each content area. Be sure to incorporate sheltered instruction strategies that will engage and empower ELLS. (1 point each)

Recycling

Ancient Greece

The American Civil War

The Olympics

Nuclear Weapons

Theme	Math Activity	Social Studies Activity	Science Activity
The Pacific Ocean	Show a video that describes statics about the aquatic environment of the pacific ocean. Have students create measurement problems word problems based on data from the ocean.	Using images have students analyze the role of the pacific countries in world war two in small groups and then, using a model, have them write a newspaper article about one of the battles or important events they discussed	Have students conduct experiments top help them compare differences in adaptations of aquatic organisms to fresh water and marine environments. Using a model, have them depict their analysis on a Venn Diagram.
Recycling	Show some statistical diagram map of Air quality indicators in U.S. states. Have students to create an overall diagram to show possible source of those pollution comes from.	Using the recent political issue related to pollution and discuss of importance of recycling. Have students to conduct a debate of importance of recycling in the real life situation	Have students to watch a video about how recycling make impact on people’s or any creatures’ life. For example, oil leak will damage ocean creatures’ living environment. And discuss and conclude the possible way in daily life to be ecofriendly. For example, replace plastic shopping bag for other ecofriendly material bags.
The Olympics	Show students a real story of the highest speed of leopard chasing its preys compare to the highest speed of a sprinter. Giving students a general idea of speed. Have students to design and solve distance and speed problems	Showing students a timeline of the Olympics history and highlight the big changes conduct with social changes. Have students to share with each other about how Olympics game relates to their cultures and society.	Have students to create a experiment measuring different density of different realia which contain different material of the running track. And conclude and discuss the advantages of using different materials.
