Prep:

• Download the “Objectives Sheet” and “Experiences Sheet” from the download on main unit page
  • Print/copy for each student (can be put front/back)
• Optional: Vocabulary Copy for each student.
• Optional: Props to help with comprehension throughout the unit.

Introduce Unit 

Start by introducing the new unit to let them know what they will be learning.

Essential Question

Introduce the essential questions for the unit. Try to explain in simplified target language using props or show it in English. See what they already think. Options: Start a journal (written or video). Give them time to reflect back after lessons.

Unit Objectives

Note: Click the image to change the size.

Ask what they think they will need to learn to be able to understand information about street foods and describe them. Make a list of what they say.

Pass out the Objective Sheet for this unit to students. Have them circle their proficiency goal at the bottom. Refer back to the rubric if needed.

If you want to do a pre-assessment, they could try to do each of the objectives.

Experiences/Homework

Give them the experiences sheet. Go over the options. See if they have any other ideas that would connect with the 5 C’s (community, cultures, communication, connections, comparisons). Explain how, how many, and when to turn it in. Also explain guidelines for the “Your Option” like does it need to be approved first.

Vocabulary

This is a way for students to organize the vocabulary that they learn each day.

Extension Ideas:

• For level 2 students and higher, give them a pre-assessment to see their strengths and areas for growth
• Connect with other content teachers
• Arrange for a guest speaker to visit
