The SIOP® Model

PRACTICE & APPLICATION

Content Objective

We will:

• Identify a variety of ways for students to enhance their learning through hands-on practice and application of new knowledge.

Language Objective

We will :• Use appropriate vocabulary to connect content

words in a graphic organizer to demonstrate our understanding of hands-on practice.

• Process information and examples presented to create activities for ELs to practice and apply new content and language knowledge.

Guiding Principles

5. Students learn language and culture through meaningful use and interaction.

6. Students use language in functional and communicative ways that vary according to context.

7. Students develop language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing interdependently, but at different rates and in different ways.

Let’s think about this example for a moment. This geometry lesson activity clearly fits elementary and middle school classrooms.

What would work for a high school classroom?

Supermarket “shopping” activity – sorting items, identify & explain properties(four corners)

Let’s Practice & Apply …

• Use the following content and language knowledge you have gained so far and prepare a graphic organizer to demonstrate your understanding

• Using Post-it notes, write ONE vocabulary word from the list below per note to include in your graphic organizer

• Create a graphic organizer that demonstrates connections between the vocabulary words

• When finished, “read” your organizer to a neighboring table

Think about while you watch:

1) What types of hands-on activities did you see in the classroom?

2) What does this teacher do to help students practice and apply language and content knowledge?

Integration of Language Skills

The Frame up Students work in groups for 4 The topic is written in the center of the frame Students take turns interviewing the others in

the group about their ideas for filling in one side of the frame.

A second student asks the group for ideas on filling in the second side of the frame and so on.

Students can then write about the topic using the frame as a graphic organizer

How do you use ALL language domains in your classroom?

Create groups of four Write the above question in the

center of the frame Take turns interviewing the others in

your group about their ideas for using the language domains

Then write about the topic using the frame as a graphic organizer

Gap-filling informational text (guided practice)

Carbohydrates are organic molecules that ___________ carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Cells ________ these molecules for energy.

The simplest sugars ____________ monosaccharides.

GLUCOSE

Glucose is a monosaccharide. Plants __________ glucose during the process of photosynthesis. Plants _______ energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose.

FRUCTOSE

Fruits _______ sweet because they contain fructose. Fructose is also a monosaccharide.

The complex sugars___________ polysaccharides.Examples ________ starch, cellulose, and glycogen._________________________________________________________________Use these VERBS to complete the paragraphs:

produce are called make store taste include

Review 2Biomolecules• Groups of 3, use a maximum of 15 key words

related to your assigned biomolecule and design a graphic organizer to show what you know about the topic.

• Include verbs/function words to connect the vocabulary words.

• Share the graphic organizer with the class.

29Practice & Application

Reflection

• Think about your last 90 minutes of instruction with your students. Estimate how many minutes your students spent: Listening Speaking Reading Writing

• What activities did they do to practice and apply these language skills?

• Considering the information we have just discussed, what would you continue to do the same and what would you try to change?

REMEMBER-practice should:

• be divided into short, meaningful amounts• incorporate both content and language concepts

of the lesson/topic/unit• be introduced using clear, sequential steps and

directions• be modeled to ensure students understand what

to do

WRAP UP

• An idea that I am going to try is ____ because____.

• Share your idea with a partner at your table
