Instructional Material Critique & Redesign with Infographic
critique description of one material or resource, analyzing its effectiveness on ELLs and (2) based on your analysis, redesign one section/activity of the original material so that it meets the need of ELLs.
The material chosen will promote culturally and linguistically responsive classrooms and instructional practices. The infographic a highly visual representation will be an integral part of the redesign portion of this project of the material critiqued. Your paper must be more than a description of a set of materials.
Step 1:
Evaluate materials based on overarching considerations relative to your ESL philosophy and delivery model.
Confirm that materials have been designed and validated for use with ELLs.
Confirm that the philosophy and pedagogy related to English language acquisition establish high expectations.
Confirm an explicit and substantive alignment of materials to the New York State Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards
Step 2:
Evaluate materials based upon nonnegotiable criteria related to ELLs.
For ELLs, non-negotiable criteria revolve around maintaining grade-level rigor, building knowledge while acquiring and building academic language (in English and/or other languages), and cultural relevance.
The ELL-specific non-negotiable criteria seek to identify materials that provide ELLs with the necessary rigor in language development, provide ELLs with full access to grade-level instructional content, integrate scaffolding for ELLs without compromising rigor or content, provide ELLs access to text that increases in complexity, with intentional connections between ESL and ELA instruction, all anchored to the New York State Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards
Step 3:
Evaluate remaining options via a close review of additional considerations, using a district-specific or grade-by-grade rubric to identify and select the materials that best meet your specific requirements.
Step 4:
Use the WIDA PRIME tool to analyze your materials for the presence of key components of the WIDA Standards Framework. PRIME stands for Protocol for Review of Instructional Materials for ELLs. Read through the sample https://www.hmhco.com/fl-intervention/pdf/wida_r180.pdfLinks to an external site. to orient yourself on the depth and details you should include in your materials evaluation.
