Assignment Task
Culturally inclusive lesson plan
Identify a lesson plan that you have developed for another unit or implemented in your practicum teaching (no more than two pages in single spacing). If you have not developed a lesson plan yet, then you can use someone else’s lesson plan. Please note the quality of the original lesson plan does not matter, because your task is to revise it in a way that demonstrates what you have learned through this unit. Attach your 1700-word explanation about the changes that you have made in relation to the three elements ( representation of diversity , integration of various languages and dialects of English , integration of explicit linguistic scaffolding) . The classroom context in which the lesson plan is to be implemented can be real or hypothetical, but it has to have at least 3 EAL/D students (preferably with differing backgrounds)for whom you will have to implement various language support strategies. Use the EAL/D ‘learner phases’ (see EAL/D Advice for Schools 20 20) to briefly describe the level of their English language competency.
