Objectives Know: how literacy manifests in foreign language learning. Understand: The foreign language classroom is a place to reinforce core literacy skills using the language as a vehicle. Be Able to Do: Apply 3 powerful learning strategies and 3 key literacy strategies in the WL classroom.

(Readence, Bean, Baldwin 200) Overall knowledge of text structures can aid students in comprehending, studying, and discussing key concepts. (Readence, Bean, Baldwin 200) To support CLIP Implementation across content areas and specifically in WL classrooms, connections will be made between key literacy strategies and WL instruction via the research cited above as well as other core literacy examples.

Three Powerful Learning Strategies Predicting Connecting Organizing Connecting these 3 powerful learning strategies to the CLIP implementation in the WL classroom as an organizing structure for the 3 literacy strategies that will be introduced later in the presentation. Define strategy. Provide gen ed. examples. How does this look in WL classroom? Discuss with your elbow partner… At the end of each strategy partners will share out.

Giraffes Can’t Dance Presenter will demonstrate the 3 strategies while modeling with the children's books Giraffes Can’t Dance – ELMO will be used to project bookUse book to model how teachers would apply the strategies to a written text in the WL classroom.

What is different than your current practice? What are you going to change as a result? Turn and discuss with your partner Then share out in groups What are our big takeaways?

Ask group to share out how it might be used at each level. Follow-up question: How can the teacher stay in the target language while introducing new vocabulary?

Reflection: One minute paper on post-it Jot down your “Take-Aways” Consider what you need to know and be able to do to successfully implement what you have learned in this session. What is still unclear? What professional development or additional resources do you need? Presenters please collect post-it notes at the end of each session. Prepare an analysis of the responses and be prepared to share out in DLD debrief.
