Ms. Morena is an Excellent teacher ! She made this lesson so much fun. Everyone was engaged and the students GOT IT !

The narrator of this video wrote the book on SIOP that I'm reading right now for my masters course. Thank you Dr. Echevarria!

She´s a really good teacher. This was 2012, these kids are 17 and 18 now. I am sure whatever she taught them stuck, they were lucky to have her!

this woman’s teaching methods are fantastic. she reminds me of my own grade school teachers back in the day.

I am studying the SIOP model for my college courses in Early Childhood Education. I have been struggling to see the point of this, isn't it what teachers are already doing? I love the end quote here. This quote helped me to see SIOP in a whole new light! Thank you!

Excellent example of both language and content objectives.

Excellent example of content and language ojectives!

Great lesson!!

Great lesson

The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model is a research-based and validated instructional model that has proven effective in addressing the academic needs of English learners throughout the United States.

so what is the most effective approach?

I am curious about the partner work posters behind you at the end of the video. Can you share them in a link?

This video was great

Wow her class are so smart

Good video but who were the non-English speakers? Did they speak and read?

The component of lesson delivery has four features. What are the other two feathers besides language and contents?

What is the content objective and language objective of this lesson?

Someone have the traduction of this video?

I enjoyed the comments. Almost all were statements of opinion. I saw a couple of questions and a couple of statements of fact related to the definition of the word "scraggly." By the way, I enjoyed the presentation (a fact about my feeling). I have had smaller classes of students this age where I could keep this pace going (a fact about my experience). I would have liked to have seen how the students with special needs participated as well as to know what their special needs were (a statement of a wish). But if I were to add, "She did a great job!", then that would be an opinion.

The purpose of this is to show lesson DELIVERY, and it's a snapshot of a much larger lesson / unit. It's important to take this into account when making comments and assumptions because that's what they are; assumptions, and with little evidence or context. Perhaps commenters should visit this classroom for a fact / opinion lesson. . .?

A student could be questioning why he/she should be able to distinguish a fact from an opinion. Well, the previous lesson might have dealt with that, but we don’t see it in this lesson.

The teacher is talking too fast for being so many students. What's in place to check against the students' rote responses? Defending their claim? Do you break up the chorale responses with that from time to time to assess for that? Definitely lots of superficial rote response that confers minimal language pragmatics. Maybe a few do learn F vs. O concept, but most are just along for the ride with choral responses. From 3rd grade, this is where they learn to "play the game." They kids give the teacher what she/he wants, and the teacher can say, "See, they're learning!" Administrator sees all the gears in motion and gives the teacher a thumbs up, smiles and leaves. Teacher feels validated. It's boondoggle that most teachers would rather not admit to, but carry it out because they know, no better way. The school system has buried itself in one-size-fits all approaches for culturally mixed classrooms, and pull-out classes are stratified even worse. Most students in my SPED class come to me with an average of a 3rd to 4th grade reading level (independent) in the 9th grade. Between 3rd and 9th grade, those 6 years are probably a complete waste of everyone's time. Once they learn enough English to "get by" it'd be the extremely rare student who wants to learn more. As they get older, one thing they do learn is how to play the game--if you pretend to be learning, I'll pretend I'm teaching, and we all have each other peacefully fooled." Most (like 65%) of teachers seem to be okay with that. No authenticity, valuing or caring. Check-box teaching, you may call it.

scraggly is in the dictionary....she needed to check more than one source

Mexico rules

Gudelia Abrego, estoy detestando este trabajo.

I think the teacher is talking too much. And sorry, I don't believe 3 grade students are able to understand all this flow of speech.

Nothing against Ms. Morena. She did a good job. But Hispanics are way behind other students in vocabulary, reading, writing, and math by the time they get to high school. So high school is a struggle for them and many drop out. This lesson, although well done is an example of why. There is little reading and writing. There is lots of teacher talk, and a little partner work. Students need to read read read. These kids need to be engaged in reading. Then express their own thoughts in writing. Not just listen and then say what the teacher wants them to say. This is why many students get to high school reading on a third grade level and don't succeed.

She has a lovely, warm personality, but the information is incorrect. "The duck is scraggly," is not an opinion. It's stated in a source. It doesn't matter how the reader feels about the word scraggly. I wonder what she would have said if the sentence had read, "The duck is yellow." This is just one reason I believe distinguishing between fact and opinion is an inappropriate standard for third grade. (Sorry state standards.) it's actually a really difficult concept because it depends on what the information is being filtered through. Statements that look like facts are often untrue. Opinions are based on an interpretation of facts and opinions can change and can be argued. A doctor gives you a medical opinion. (Radiation is not a good way to treat your cancer.) The examples she gives as opinions (The United States is the greatest country in the world) are not opinions. They are statements of personal belief and are not arguable. It's wrong to oversimplify these concepts.

Ms morena makes two big mistakes. First, She talks too much. Second, she explains using difficult vocabulary and complicated phrases for third grade students.

Awesome lesson!
