| Standards and Lesson Plan |
The standards used are from the CASAS Competencies.
I designed a plan myself and also found a few plans already made. For the pre-made plans, I will provide links and for my plan, I will post it here.
Found plans:
Buying a Car
Understanding Over-the-Counter Medicines
Reading Food Labels
(Plans from the "Lessons for the CASAS Competencies" website)
My plan:
(Please let me know if you would like any of the focus sheets or worksheets as I have created them, but they do not post properly onto the blog!)
Instructional Plan: Rethinking Recycling
Level: High-Intermediate, IEP
Performance Objectives:
Content Objective: 1. To compare and contrast trash and recycling policies/habits between students’ home countries and America
Language Objective: 2. To create a comparison chart and Venn diagram to organize this information
Learning Objective: 3. To create and orally present a poster to promote positive recycling habits
Content Vocabulary: Recycle, sorting, trash, garbage, waste, reuse, redemption values, policies, environment, ecological (additional vocabulary to be added by instructor and students)
CASAS Competencies:
0.1.2 – Understand or use appropriate language for informational purposes (e.g., to identify, describe, ask for information, state needs, agree or disagree)
0.1.3 – Understand or use appropriate language to influence or persuade (e.g., to caution, advise, persuade, negotiate)
0.1.5 – Interact effectively in the classroom

7.2.1 – Identify and paraphrase pertinent information
7.2.3 – Make comparisons, differentiating among, sorting, and classifying items, information, or ideas
7.5.1 – Identify personal values, qualities, interests, abilities, and aptitudes
Warm-Up: Ask students “why do we recycle?” Students should speak in groups, then share out. Write down reasons/important details on the board for later reference.
Task Chain 1: Compare and contrast trash and recycling policies/habits between countries
- As a class, students will go over Focus Sheet 1. They will add at least 10 terms to the list of vocabulary based upon their experiences and observations.
- In table groups, students will describe recycling in America based upon their observations.
- Groups will share out their notes about American recycling policies/habits and write down additional notes, ask questions, and clarify.
- Students will work independently or with other students from their home country to write about their own country’s policies.
- Students will pair with a student from a different home country and they will interview each other about their home country’s policies.
Task Chain 2: Create a comparison chart and Venn diagram
- Paired with their interview partner from the previous task chain, students will complete Worksheet 2 with the information from Worksheet 1.
- Using Focus Sheet 3 as a reference, students will transfer the information from Worksheet 2 to a Venn diagram on butcher or poster paper.
Task Chain 3: Create and orally present a poster
- In pairs or groups (depending on class size), students will create a poster to promote positive recycling habits.
- Students will present their posters to the class.
- Using Worksheet 4, students will record highlights of their classmates’ presentations and questions for classmates.
Final Assessment: Score students using presentation and poster rubrics
- Using a presentation rubric, students will be evaluated on their presentation skills.
- Using a poster rubric, students will be evaluated on their project.
