Lesson Plan for a chosen Content Area (English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science or other).
After selecting the standards to focus on, students will design and implement a variety of
instructional strategies to develop and integrate the second language domains: listening,
speaking, reading, and writing for at least one level of proficiency (WIDA). Students will infuse
their lesson plan with technology. Students will complete the ELD Lesson Plan Template and
include samples/visuals of activities. Students will develop formative and summative
assessments for their WIDA/ELD Lesson Plan
