Myths about English language learners

I know we have pretty much stopped stopped posting here but I think this article is a MUST READ
Here are the myths about ELLs that we all need to throw out the window:

Myth #1: Students cannot use their first language in the classroom

Myth #2: Students need to be corrected when they’re speaking English

Myth #3: All English language learners are immigrants

Myth #4: To learn English students must assimilate within North American culture (replace American with mainstream)

Myth #5: All English language learners share similar background, culture, socio-economic status

TOPIC = AREA OF A CIRCLE.

Aim – use the formula to find the area of a circle .

Resources = circular cut –out of 4 cm radius, chart , scale,

 etc.

Learning outcomes =  students will be able to deduce and use the formula to find the area of a circle.

Teacher´s  action

Student´s response

What is pi? What is the area of a rectangle? What is the circumference of a circle? What is the area of a circle? To day we will deduce the formula to find the area of a circle Students were divided into pairs. And were given circle cut out to each pair. Questions: What did you do? Which shape did you get after arranging the pieces? We then arranged them to get a parallelogram. What is the area of a   parallelogram? Discussion = Are the areas of the parallelogram and circle the same? Why? The circumference of the circle was divided into 2 parts by  colouring the sectors in two different colour. We now the area of a parallelogram =base ×height =π r ×r = What about the perimeter of the semicircle  Discussion   The area of a semicircle is half of the area of the circle.  The perimeter of a semi circle is never half of the circumference of the circle because in perimeter we also measure the length of the diameter as it becomes the outer edge of the semicircle.

Pi is a constant for all circles and its value is 22/7 or 3.14. base × height C =2πr No ,answer Listening Student responses on the board . Base × height  No answer                            Area of circle = area of parallelogram                            Area of circle = base× height                           Area  of circle = πr × r                                                    = πr² Student asks some Question.

Assessment = 1. Find the area and perimeter of the circle radius 6.5?

                       2. Find the area and perimeter of the semicircle

                            

                         3. Find the area of the circle .if the d=35cm of a circle.

Black board work =

 Area of circle = π r²

Area of semicircle =Area of Inner circle -- Area of outer circle 

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Report lesson plan =

                                   My lesson plan and activity are aligned with learning outcome and it helped students in deep understanding. Now student are thorough with the concept and are able to find the area between concentric circles using the area of a circle.

TOPIC=WRITING A BIOGRAPHY

Resources=S1,S2,Notebook.

Keywords=Details,Interview,Research.

My Learning Outcome or Aim=Students will be able to select a person for writing a biography and create a question list for a research interview.

Introduction= I asked whose biography did we read last week?Was it a real person or an imaginary peeson?What kind of facts about the person did we come across?After taking students responses we discussed about real story on Helen keller who became deaf n blind at very young age.

Teachers actions=
I briefed them that they will choose a person and make a question list to interview their selected person.I instructed them to write in their notebooks the question list .I gave 2 examples on board .1)What are your hobbies?,2)What was the name of your school or college?when they were preparing list I walked around and helped the students to make a choice and frame questions .
General questions=1)What type of questions should we ask in our interview?,What type of questions we should not ask? Students responded to this very actively and they were informed that we should not ask questions on daily life.Then they were asked Hots questions.1)What are some the things need to be prepared before an interview?What are the things needed to be taken during an interview?Students gave their responses that we should take permission before an interview and take a pen and a pad and alist of questions.

Application=Solving their S1 in wbk the name of the person they are going to inerview and ticking the questions what to ask for an interview.To underline sentence in a paragraph which should not be asked in an interview.

Home task assessment=Interview to collect key facts ,photos and details about their chosen person for biography.In my lesson plan my Learning outcome was that they will select a person for Biography and create a question list .I gave examples of questions and saw their list .Cleared all their doubts and students could apply in their home assessment .This home assessment made my lesson plan alligned with my learning outcome
The students wrote the selected persons name and started creating a question list.They also looked at S2(wbk) to see what information they need to fill in about them.They showed the question list they made to ask and also wrote the name of a person they chose to interview it included.1)Dates,2)Names,3)Facts about their childhood and adulthood4)Hobbies and interests.

Class VII

Topic: hot and cold

Resources: Hot and cold water and thermometer 

INTRODUCTION: I will show them hot and cold water and tell them to put their finger in it after I’ll ask some questions;  How do you feel when you put your finger in both water sample?

 Why it is hot and cold?

LEARNING OUTCOME: By this activity students will be able to identify hot and cold things also able to describe the impact of temperature in environment and our health also.

Teacher’s action

Students responses

Firstly I’ll clear their doubts in questions (mentioned in intro). I will divide the whole class into some groups and assign their roles. Then I’ll give them hot, cold and normal water and thermometer. I’ give them some instructions that take thermometer and put it one by one in hot, cold and normal water and record your observations. I’ll also put some questions in between the activity like: Have you see any changes in thermometer’s reading? Why it is increase and decrease? What is the importance of temperature in our environment and our life?

They will be collect materials from me and will start their work. They will observe carefully that temperature increase and decrease in thermometer. And will record their observation in their note book. They will be give me answer from their observation.

HOME WORK: After that I’ll give them some questions for writing in note book like:

                          : What is the role of thermometer?

                          : What is the role of temperature in our life and environment also?

                          : How can you show the temperature from thermometer?

RIVISION:  In last I’ll put some important thing on the black board and explain it in summaries in front of them.

Black Board Summery                                                                                                                 AGENDA                                                                                                 Hot and cold things                                                                                              Role of temperature in our life                                                                                                    Uses of thermometer

Why is my lesson plan aligning?

                         : In this lesson plan learning outcome was students will be able to identify    hot and cold things also will be able to describe the role of temperature.

                          According to learning outcome I used an activity. I gave them a concrete experience. I divided whole class into some groups and assigned their roles. I provided activity materials and gave instructions to check hot, cold and normal water with the help of thermometer and record their observations in their note books. By above process all students have identified hot and cold substances and impact of temperature. So my activity was also aligned.

                         I asked some questions in between the activity which I mentioned in lesson plan. Questions were related to learning outcome. So my questions are aligned.

                         Then, I cleared all the doubts that the students had that time.

                         After that I gave some questions (mentioned in lesson plan) for their                         home assessment. These questions helped the students in understanding the effect of temperature on our health and environment too. So my home work also aligned.
