    I had the chance to review your lesson project. A well detailed lesson with clear objectives. The Personal Experiences questions under the "Activating Prior Knowledge/Building Background section sound very effective, and the students will respond well to them. If you have objectives of introducing/using primary sources, I think you can tie in the use of the 1951 MacArthur speech to those objectives. Also, it would be helpful for the students if the Guided Practice and/or Independent Practice includes question prompts that ask the students if they think Truman was wrong or right when he dismissed MacArthur; this could be tied in to the discussion on Truman's decision regarding the war in Korea. Again, overall, a good lesson which is appropriate for students who are ESL 1B/2A, BB, and FBB level(s)

    Gamaliel,
    thank you for your input on my lesson. I only attached the lesson plan, not the handouts, so you could not see the worksheet the students would be working on in class/for homework. I will make sure your suggestion regarding Truman/MacArthur is on the worksheet.

    Hi Sally,

    Good lesson. I think I can use it with my students. The only thing that I would add is a "so what" section to the Venn diagram. Whenever I use a Venn diagram, I have a section at the bottom where students either summarize or analyze the significance of the two items they are comparing. In essence, the Venn diagram becomes a Y diagram.

    Dear Colleagues,
    I received a new template from LAUSD that they would like used for our EL students. I made the lessons with that group of students in mind. If you are not familiar, English Immersion is a class that will have 75% or more ESL 1B/2A students and the rest will be BB (below basic) and FBB (far below basic) as scored by the state exams, or anywhere from 1-4 years below grade level.
    thanks for your input!
