Whenever you think of the Mafia, what comes to mind? You might think of movies like The Godfather, TV characters like Tony Soprano, or infamous historical figures like Al Capone.

You probably won't think of lemons. But it so happens that the oval yellow fruit was central to the creation of the Mafia, when it originated in Sicily in the late 1800s.

In this episode, The Indicator looks at the importance of scurvy and citrus in the origin story of La Cosa Nostra.

The 2012 Amplification of the WIDA English Language Development Standards, Kindergarten-Grade 12, represented the social, instructional, and academic language students might need to engage with peers, educators, and the curriculum in schools. The 2012 Amplification included examples of how language could be processed or produced within a particular context through Model Performance Indicators (MPIs). MPIs were meant to be examples and not fixed guidelines of the language with which students may have engaged during instruction and assessment.
WIDA intends to fully retire the 2012 Amplification of the WIDA English Language Development Standards, Kindergarten-Grade 12. However, we recognize that all member SEAs have different timelines for implementation of the WIDA ELD Standards Framework, 2020 Edition. With that in mind, the 2012 Amplification will remain in the Resource Library so that educators whose SEAs are still using it may access it as needed.
