Incorporating English Language Development (ELD) Standards into Classroom Instruction
ESEA Requirement Section 3113(b)(2) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), requires state agencies to establish standards and objectives for raising the level of English proficiency in the four recognized domains of speaking, listening, reading,
and writing, and that are aligned with challenging state academic standards.

Sample Science Lesson PlanSOL 4.4 The student will investigate and understand basic plant anatomy and life processes.
Key concepts include the structures of typical plants and the function off each structure;
processes and structures involved with plant reproduction; photosynthesis; and
adaptations allow plants to satisfy life needs and respond to the environment.
WIDA Standard 4: The language of science
Linguistic Complexity (discourse level)
What part of the plant _______________? The _____ part of the plant does _______________.
How are plants pollinated? Plants are pollinated _______.
Language Forms and Conventions (sentence level)
Pollinate-pollinated
Reproduce-reproducing
Vocabulary Usage (word/phrase level)
root, stem, leaves, flower, transport, photosynthesis, environment
Differentiated Practice (Remediation): Provide the student with a flower drawn by the teacher. Have the students label it and write the
function of each flower part using a word bank (created by the teacher). Finally, have the students color in the flower.
Differentiated Practice (Enrichment): Have the students create their own model of a flower using modeling clay. The students can then
create an index card booklet to list the parts of the flower and explain each part’s function.
