Introduction to the WIDA ELP Standards 22 WIDA Consortium / CAL / Metritech Working on a Real Lesson At your table, use one of the lessons provided to answer the following questions: 1.What is the grade level?...What grade level cluster is it in? 2.What standard will you be working on? (Hint: what content area does your lesson address? 3.Select a framework: formative or summative 4.Select one domain you would like to focus on 5.Find the strand that corresponds to the grade level cluster, standard, framework and domain that you have selected 6.Copy the strand onto your worksheet
