Lesson Plan Integrating ELLs’ Cultural Values and Beliefs
Part 1: Lesson Plan
For this assignment, create a lesson plan for integrated English language development (ELD) instruction that integrates ELLs’ cultural values and beliefs. Using the "COE Lesson Plan Template,” address the following:
Using your clinical field experience classroom as the context for planning the lesson, select the grade level, a content area standard, and at least one of the 10 Arizona English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards that supports the lesson.
Complete all sections of the lesson plan template, focusing specifically on aligning objectives, instruction, and assessments to the content area academic and ELP standards selected.
Include both the content area academic and ELP standards within the "National/State Learning Standards" section of the template.
Differentiation should address ELLs’ language differences, giftedness, and special education needs.
Part 2: Reflection
Write a 250-500 word reflection explaining how your lesson plan integrates ELLs’ cultural values and beliefs in the context of teaching and learning. Include a description of how your lesson planning and focus would be different, if you were to develop a targeted ELD lesson, instead of the integrated lesson you designed.

Instructional Plan Title:
The Seven Life Processes that Living Things need to Survive
Lesson Summary and Focus:
The lesson will focus on how all living organisms share specific characteristics. The seven life processes that all living things need to survive are movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition.
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
The class has ELLs, students with gifted abilities, students with special needs, students who do not finish their tasks, and students who complete tasks earlier. Thus, activities vary for each group. The activities are designed according to their needs.
National/State Learning Standards:
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
(NGSS 4-LS1-1).
Use academic language and vocabulary appropriate to grade level when discussing scientific concepts (WIDA 4.1).
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, students must be able to attain these specific learning objectives:
* The students must be able to describe the characteristics of living organisms, including the seven life processes, using appropriate academic language and vocabulary.
* The students must be able to identify examples of the seven life processes in living organisms using a graphic organizer.
* The students must answer prompts to describe one life process and its importance in maintaining life.

Section 2: Instructional Planning
Anticipatory Set
* I will start by asking the students if they know what it means to be alive.
* The students will list their responses on the board or chart paper.
* I will introduce the concept of the Seven Life Processes and briefly explain each process using the character “Mrs. Gren.”
* Then, I will divide the students into small groups and ask them to brainstorm a list of things they think a living organism needs to survive.
* After they have compiled their list, ask each group to categorize their ideas into the Seven Life Processes.
* Once they have categorized their ideas, I will ask each group to present their list to the class and explain why each item fits into the specific life process category.
