SIOP® Lesson Plan Template 2 Duration: 50 min/day for about 2 weeks for Reading, Writing, Communication for this assignment. All three components are integrated into other subject areas throughout the year.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework focused on meeting the needs of all students including ELL students through multiple means of Engagement, Representation, and Expression. Engagement includes multiple ways to self-regulate and increase motivation. Representation include multiple options for comprehension, language expression, and perception of information. Multiple means of expression provide options for executive function, communication, and physical action. The lesson plan for my inclusive classroom with ELL students include multiple ways to engage students using a project- based assignment. An audio book of a folktale will be used to model the lesson. This lesson will be project based with reading, writing and then an oral presentation at the end. I will have each group read a different folktale. Visuals of notes on power point and options for the final student presentation will be offered. Paired work during this assignment will keep the students engaged. Language learners will have support using technology and partners. Multiple means of representation will include the use of technology such as video, power point, and audio. Access to Google Translate and an on-line dictionary will be utilized. Using technology will enhance comprehension for language learners as vocabulary words will be identified and defined. As a method to customize information for ELL students, they will have access to fill-in-the-blank worksheets with word banks to help them learn sentence structure and essay writing. Multiple ways for expression will include rubrics, rough draft writing, and options for the final presentation. The paired group will consist of an ELL student and general student. The ELL student will benefit from being able to make a presentation to the class by reading from their power point or making a video. The classroom will have flexible seating arrangements for students to comfortable sit and work in small groups allowing ELL students opportunities to socialize. My ELL students will benefit from the SIOP, CRP, and WIDA frameworks implemented into the lesson plan with slow speech by teacher and other students, emphasis on academic language and echoing when one-on-one, and with opportunities to practice reading, writing and speaking. Paired or group work will provide time for social language. Different cultures will be celebrated through the folktale from around the world project.
