Option 1

lillianmorales2 — 2024-03-24 05:29:40 UTC

Introduce theme definition followed by material that will be familiar enough to students of diverse backgrounds (common movie examples).

Option 2

Provide enough opportunities for small group discussion to help students construct each others' knowledge of terms, significance, and connection.

EL Support

lillianmorales2 — 2024-03-24 22:07:04 UTC

Provide sentence frames if EL students are chosen so they don't feel excluded from participating.

EL Suport

Allow for summaries of motion pictures to be in small groups, so EL's can connect prior knowledge and classification of themes, in English, with their small groups.
