Continue to greet the students in English review expectations, etc. Share the lesson objective. If you have not yet set up your Videographer, I urge you to do so now. You will benefit greatly from their services when you come to the Narration cycle, which is not too far away — session 16! See the HR Manual in the Appendices for more information on setting up this and other student jobs. Hand out (or project/display) the Reading Workshop text. You might make your own, use the ones in our Teachers Pay Teachers store (CI Liftoff), or read a Shared Writing text from a previous lesson. Then, share the lesson objective if you have not already done so, check in with your Class Starter (and perhaps Videographer), and begin the lesson.
Show Me Your (Writing) Moves In this sample lesson, I use the beginner reading from our Teachers Pay Teachers store (CI Liftoff) for Cycle One Phase Two, shown here, in French. As always, the lesson notes are written in English. The course language is in black. The class’s stronger shared language is grey.
