Standards:
Iowa World Language Competencies Standards (2016)
IAWL.ITV: Interpret authentic written/spoken/signed language by applying appropriate comprehension
strategies to extract meaning and use information for personal and/or community enrichment.
IAWL.2.ITV2.NH3: Understand familiar words, phrases, and sentences within short and simple texts related
to everyday life.
Objectives:
Content— Students will be able to understand familiar words, phrases, and sentences within short and simple
texts related to everyday life.
Language— By reading and using a graphic organizer, students will be able to compare a text to their own
text they create by writing and discussing at least three differences and similarities.
Student-friendly— Today I am reading and using a graphic organizer, so that I can compare a text to my own,
I’ll know I’ve got it when I can write at least three differences and similarities.
Assessment:
1) Observation while working in pairs/groups
2) Completion of Venn Diagram and Worksheet
Proactive Management:
1) Call on random students
2) During reading:
- Voices low enough so your partner can hear
- Materials (graphic organizer and pencil)
3) Classroom expectations
- No cellphones
- Respect and Responsibility = Results
- Participation
Partner Reading:
V-Voices low enough so your partner can hear you
M- Only this worksheet and a pencil
T- 1. You will be assigned a partner
2. You will be assigned to a different role – person with longer hair is “the player” first or “the reader”
while the other person is “the coach”
3. The player’s job is to simply read the text while the coach listens and helps the player pronounce words
or any difficulty the player is having. If the player does not know what a word means, the coach may be able
to help.
4. After the first person/player is done reading, you will switch roles and do the exact same thing.
5. Together, you will both work on the True/False questions.
Venn Diagram
V- Voices will be off since you will be working individually until you are instructed to share with your
partner
M- You will need the worksheet we just worked on so you are able to fill this out.
T- 1. Left side label: Marta’s Daily Routine & Right Side label: My Daily Routine
2. Individually, you will re-read Marta’s Daily Routine & your own that you wrote down.
3. The left and right circles are differences so on the left you will write 3 things Marta does that you do
not. On the right, you will write down three things you do. For example: Yo me baño/Yo prefiero bañarme.
4. In the middle, you will draw something(s) you have in common with Marta. You should not write
anything in the middle, ONLY draw.
5. When I see you are finishing up, I will tell you when to share with your partner. You will only share the
differences. Try to have your partner guess what you have and common with Marta and create a sentence.
Instructional Strategies:
1) Opportunities for student practice
2) Turn and Talk
3) Literacy Strategy (Comprehension): Partner Reading, Venn Diagram
Closure:
Procedural— Before you leave, I need to collect both of your worksheets: the reading and the venn diagram.
Move your desks back to where they were. Remember to continue studying your vocabulary words.

I demonstrated high expectations by stating clear directions and modeling or giving examples. Modeling
also made learning relevant. I made learning relevant by allowing them to talk about their own daily
routine in their life. I motivated the students in that way, but I also allowed them to work with a partner
and read out loud while they were given specific roles.
2) Italicize Universal Design for Learning (UDL) components within your lesson.
Write a paragraph (3-5 sentences) elaborating on the intentionally planned UDL components
(representation, action & expression, engagement) of your lesson. How did you differentiate to meet the
needs of ALL learners?
I created an environment where all students could be successful by modeling what I expected from them
as they read. I made sure to walk around the room to observe, answer questions but also make sure they
were on task. I fostered collaboration by allowing students to work with someone else. Students
represented their learning in different ways whether that was reading, writing, speaking or drawing. In
order to meet the needs of all students, the different forms or representation were present.
