Lesson Plan Summary:

Before reading the story, ask the


students what information do they
think is important to identify an
animals characteristics. As a
brainstorming activity, and in
small groups students write the
list. Then as a whole class discuss
each groups list then demonstrate
how to classify the information

This resource explores the informative aspects of


non-fiction texts. Students explore elements such as content-specific
vocabulary, classifying information, and report writing. The Wolf
Presentation is well illustrated, allowing
visual learners to connect and engage
Read the story to the students and provide
During the reading, draw the students
attention to similarities between items in
the text and known items in the
classroom or within the school grounds.
This helps the student to recognise
information within the text that relates
to real life. Use words from other
cultures specific to the students in the

the worksheet for the students to complete.


Help the students to complete it by slowly
giving examples of what has been discussed
in class about everyday vocabulary e.g.
night/day, trees, grass, food etc. Discuss
places and regions for habitats and why
animals or people may live there. The
worksheet also provides an example of how
an information report genre may look like
and why. Provide enough time and support
for students to complete the worksheet. If
possible print the worksheet cultural words
related to the students in the classroom.

Understand the use of vocabulary in everyday contexts as well as a


growing number of school contexts, including appropriate use of formal
and informal terms of address in different contexts (ACELA1454)

EAL/D students often don't know the English vocabulary for everyday home and family
items because they use their mother tongue in these contexts.
Teach 'everyday' vocabulary explicitly. Build visual word banks and concrete items to
explain everyday vocabulary. Label items in the classroom (for example, whiteboard, chair,
and door).

Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning about


key events, ideas and information in texts that they listen to, view and
read by drawing on growing knowledge of context, text structures and
Retells require a good control of the past tense forms in English. English has a
complicated tense system with several ways of talking about the past, which are not
interchangeable and are used to make fine distinctions of meaning. For example: The
little red hen baked the bread. The little red hen was baking the bread. The little red
hen has baked the bread. These variations remain a challenge for EAL/D students in all
phases of their English language learning. Making inferences requires contextual cultural
knowledge and a wide vocabulary, which will be difficult for EAL/D students in the
Beginning and Emerging phases of English language learning.
Draw attention to the specific tenses required, as EAL/D students will rarely know
intuitively which tense to use. A list of the verb options in the correct tense is a useful
scaffold to writing. Provide sentences that students can sequence to construct a retelling.
Explain the cultural context of the text. Teach key vocabulary through the use of
visuals. Provide opportunities for EAL/D students to use new vocabulary and
language structures orally.

language features (ACELY1660).

Describe some differences between imaginative informative and


persuasive texts (ACELY1658)
Hypothesising in English requires conditional language structures that will be difficult for
EAL/D students in all phases of English language learning, as they require the use of
multiple verb structures and tenses (for example, I think this book will be good for
learning about wolves).
Provide strong and repeated oral and written models of these sentence structures for
EAL/D students, and allow students many opportunities to use them.
http://k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/142807/EALD-English-Preprimary-to-Year-10.pdf

Develop and explore informative texts that show emerging use of


appropriate text structure, sentence-level grammar, word choice, spelling,
punctuation and appropriate multimodal elements, for example
Text structures are socially constructed, and so are not universal. EAL/D students with
print literacy in their first language may have other expectations and experiences of how
a text is structured.
Provide text structure frameworks within which to write specific types of texts. Use model
texts to demonstrate and explain the steps in a type of text. Engage students in teacherled joint construction of new types of texts.

Assessment:

Formative: Questions and feedback to ensure ongoing engagement and


understanding (allow time for students to respond, use the think pair share
strategy)

Summative: Marking rubric aligned to Australian Curriculum


Outcomes (allow students to have an input into the assessment process
e.g. if written communication skills are poor, ask students to speak and
record their answer. Then, if time permits, give the student their recording
and then you transcribe the response. This way students can see what
they would have wrote)
