The practices involve patterns of social interactions, such as how people are greeted or how respect is shown. Perspectives are the values, beliefs, ideas, and attitudes that are an
integral part of life. Products are the books, foods, laws, music, games, etc., that are created and used
within the society. ]]> 2023-03-20 15:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/srr3828/eha2299mgmlfnnuf/wish/2523833491 srr3828 https://padlet.com/srr3828/eha2299mgmlfnnuf/wish/2523837890 *Connections to Language & Literacy – CLL (Comparisons)
The world language being studied, referred to as the target language, helps students develop a greater understanding and insight into the nature of language and culture, including their native or first language. These comparisons, along with the three communication modes, blend together to focus
students on language and literacy.

*Connections to Other Disciplines-COD (Connections)
Studying a world language involves making connections with other academic disciplines, formally and informally. Within the communication skills, the language arts of reading, writing, speaking, and listening are utilized. As students learn about numbers and currency, mathematics and economics are included. All of social studies is part of culture, as are the arts, health, physical education, and science. Career and technical skills in these areas are also drawn on, and technology is woven throughout world languages as a resource for materials and a means of expression and presentation.

*Communities – CMT (Communities)
Students preparing for success in the 21st Century need to access knowledge and information from other communities, and use that information to function well with people from diverse backgrounds. ]]> 2023-03-20 15:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/srr3828/eha2299mgmlfnnuf/wish/2523837890 srr3828 https://padlet.com/srr3828/eha2299mgmlfnnuf/wish/2523841021 As students progress through a language program and accumulate 135 or 150 hours for each course, this instructional time adds up.

Students perform the most basic functions of the language and become familiar with some elements of its culture. The emphasis is placed on the development of the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing within a given context extending outside of the classroom setting when possible. The content focuses on the students' lives and experiences, and includes an exposure to everyday customs and lifestyles. Grammar is integrated throughout the course and is selected according to the language conventions (functions). A general introduction to the culture, its products (e.g., literature, laws, foods, games), perspectives (e.g., attitudes, values, beliefs), and practices
(patterns of social interaction) is integrated throughout the course. Students acquire some insight into how languages and cultures work by comparing the target language and culture(s) to their own.

Formative Assessment: Tripwire Exit Ticket
Students will be asked to list three misunderstandings about the lesson that could potentially "trip up" their peers. By asking students to view the topic from this angle, I can get a better understanding of how well the students understood the lesson. 

*Lesson 2 - What is the function of language? -Understanding
Formative Assessment: 3-2-1 Bridge Exit Ticket
Students will write in their journal:
3 things they learned in the lesson
2 Questions that they still have unanswered
1 metaphor or simile about language 

*Lesson 3 -What is the function of language? -Identity
Formative Assessment: see-think-wonder exit ticket
What did you notice in the video?
What does this make you think about?
What more do you wonder about how language shapes identity?
