2. Deliberate and appropriate scaffolds for ELs
3. Lesson develops conceptual understanding and language competence in tandem
4. Lesson equips EL students with strategies to foster autonomy
5. Lesson leverages first language knowledge and skills
6. Lesson considers prior knowledge and skills
7. Assessment task accommodations for this lesson are consistent with the instructional accommodations provided in the lesson

Step 3. Prepare and submit your lesson in a Word document format. Prior to submitting, ensure that your document is clearly marked to show evidence of all seven guiding principles. If all seven principles are not clearly highlighted and named, the assignment will be considered incomplete.
