Subject: [ola] Some lesson plan ideas! (Weekend food for thought :)

Dear OWL Community,

Attached are two sample lesson plans for your enjoyment, perusal and feedback. 
The intent is to re-create a sample class where there is a 'flow' of 
level-appropriate language, activities, and literacy. Literacy is a theme that 
I will be addressing more in the new year, since it is crucial that students 
are exposed to and using the language in all capacities. Literacy should be 
seamlessly intertwined throughout any class period in an interactive, authentic 
way.

One plan is a strand based off of the recent passing of Nelson Mandela, while 
the other is a winter theme. Remember that any plan can be 'lowered' or 
'raised' by level, depending on the kinds of questions, prompts, activities, 
and functions that are being asked.

The two lesson plans are both in a certain 'range', but could easily be 
modified to be above or below. Keep in mind that each class generally has at 
least a couple ranges of student levels.

Both lesson plans are set up exactly the same in structure. (The green in both 
is the exact same). The only thing that is different is the actual content in 
blue/red. This is to show you how similar you can plan classes, and how the 
content just fills itself in. The goal is always to create an organic flow 
(which means this 'plan' could shoot off in a different direction), but these 
are just examples to show how a class could go, and some activities that could 
be used to have students producing. Also, the parts in green can be flexible 
and modified for variation and student interest.

I look forward to any conversation started, and hope that these might offer 
some ideas to get through the last hump! Also, please add and/or contribute any 
threads that you have been doing in class!
