    In order to simulate the topic about which you read, you would need some knowledge of that topic. How can you instill some prior knowledge in your students before doing a reading so all students can do this?

    Decent simple short videos that can introduce topics to students, would be very helpful to establish some background knowledge for concepts that some students don't have.

      Standard 3- use a student's thinking and experience as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples or student thinking. Students are asked to use their prior knowledge of what they know about immigration which will help the teacher gauge their level of understanding about the topic.

      Standard 4E - understand a student's learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values. This is done by having students talk about their personal backgrounds and helps their peers understand from their experiences. Students tend to listen better to their peers and enjoy learning about their classmates.
  • Divide your students into fivegroups. Distribute the “Immigrants: Past and Present” organizer to yourstudents. Assign each group one of the following five immigrants: 1) SeymourRechtzeit from Poland, 2) Li Keng Wong from China, 3) Kauthar from Kenya, 4) Virpal from India, and 5) Quynh from Vietnam.

  • ways that we can find out about people, places and events that took place a long time ago
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is an example of 4E.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This shows understanding of Standard 4E: "Understand how a students' learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning as well as language, culture, and other samples of student thinking." Asking students to brainstorm about the topic they are about to study activates their prior knowledge so they can potentially make a connection between the new material and what they already know.
  • Discuss the responses with the students

      3G --use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking;" By eliciting student voices in a discussion the teacher can understand how they relate to the concepts that are being taught today.

  • Explain that we can also learn a lot by looking at photographs and drawings from the past.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is a little supportive of 4E, by presenting varied nationalities and cultures within the lesson, and encouraging the students to think that they have agency (you can learn alot) to look into their "photographs or drawings from the past" the teacher is demonstrating respect for the diverse backgrounds in the room.
  • would you like to ask
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is also supporting 3G -- "eliciting student thinking"
  • Ask the groups to compare their photos. Ask them to find at least two things that are similar in the two photos and at least two things that are different.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports standard 7I, "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" because the teacher is scaffolding experiences for the students to talk to and learn from one another.
  • describe the type of information that they were able to discover from looking at the photographs. (What people looked like, what people wore, etc.) Ask students to share some of the questions that they thought about when observing and comparing the photographs.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      Another example of eliciting student thinking, 3G. Also supports speaking 7I.
  • Kristi never met her father’s parents
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is moderately supportive of 4E. By sharing the story of a person whose family did not have contact the teacher is making more space in the room for learners who also may not have met their grandparents, or parents. ; (
  • Explain to students that different cultures have different ways of passing down information about their past to their children and grandchildren.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports 4E, the teacher is establishing that families have different cultural practices which makes more space in the room for children who may have felt that cultural practices in their own family are "weird." This provides space for "difference" as cool.
  • Encourage students to make something to help keep pictures, drawing, letters, articles and/or other information about them and their families.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports standard 7I. The students are encouraged to express themselves in a media other than writing and speaking.
  • create their own drawings
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 01 Oct 21
       
      This is another example of 7I because the students are expressing themselves in another medium.
