1. Gagnier - Unabridged Equations / Balancing Chemical Equations to be reflected upon…

2. I Got Skills Maybe not numchuck or shooting wolverines… but I got skills. And I improved them over this summer vacation!

3. It is written all over my face, I am proud of what I have learned…

4. I was SHOCKED when they said I needed to do a presentation.

5. O.M.G.

6. Nyah, I thought, I can handle this…

7. Come, follow me to the MATH Side!!! The Force tells me that you need to know… more about how I will teach EQUATIONS!!!!

8. Letters and numbers!!! http://richardbowles.tripod.com/chemistry/balance.htm The concept of balancing equations Take a look at this chemical word equation: Aluminium + Oxygen ® = Aluminium Oxide Al + O 2 ® Al 2 O 3 Remember what I told you about that whole “ if letters and numbers are in the same sentence, that can’t be good…” kind of thought???

9. 1. _____ Fe + _____ S --> _____ FeS 2. _____ H2 + _____ Cl2 --> _____ HCl 3. _____ Mg + _____ O2 --> _____ MgO

11. Yup… THAT’s the face they all give when we start talking about this stuff…

12. ELL Aspects 3 of the 5 Languages of Learning Language of Reasoning Lang. of Explanation Procedural Language Hyde 2006 CONNECT To consider that two things are related CONCLUDE To reach a decision or arrive at a logical end by reasoning based on evidence INTERPRET To explain the meaning or to conceive the significance of something

13. SIOP In 1999, the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) was developed [following intensive observation of sheltered English teaching. Protocol identifies 30 important elements of sheltered instruction under 8 broad categories. Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2004 Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2004

14. SIOP Key Points Preparation Building Background Comprehensible Input Strategies Interaction Practice/Application Lesson Delivery Review and Assessment

15. A SIOP Lesson… WHY??? Sheltered lessons help students make connections between new knowledge and prior experience. Teachers plan meaningful, relevant learning activities to enable those connections. The teacher seeks to ensure that students have sufficient background knowledge to tackle new curriculum material. Teachers modify their speech and, when necessary and feasible, content text Explicitly teach learning strategies provide ample opportunities for students to interact in the target language around purposeful tasks

16. Now I Know to… Develop this Tier 2 Vocab : Factors Balance Variable Identify Table Steps Products

17. Possible Tier 3 Words: Moles Elements (could be Tier 2) Reactants

18. http://richardbowles.tripod.com/chemistry/balance.htm Sample site for what balancing chemical equations entails… INTERACTIVE PHYSICS!!!! Try it or show it to a friends using this site: http://www.design- simulation.com/IP/simulationlibrary/flash- simulations.php

19. Can you DIG THAT?!?!

20. Are we now… copacetic?

21. Thanks, friends, for all feedback you will soon give… and here’s to all the learning in our future.
