SIOP Day 3 Practice and Applications

• What kinds of hands-on practice have my students experienced? • What kind of hands-on practice would you like to add? Think about your last 90 minutes of instruction with your students. Estimate how many minutes your students spent: • Listening • Speaking • Reading • Writing What activities did they do to practice and apply these language skills? What skills were the students measuring for each other? Considering the information we have just discussed, what would you continue to do the same and what would you try to change?

SIOP Day 2 Building Background
