  5. Activity: Make it work. • Directions: Get into groups of three. • 1st – Each person chooses a word to describe the new WIDA standards format. You should have three words. • 2nd – Explain to your partners why you chose that word. • 3rd - Work together to write a coherent paragraph about the video that incorporates all three of your words.

  6. Example: Make it Work • Words Chosen: Connected, Common Core, Rigor. • Paragraph: • We were a little concerned with whether the new standards were connected to what we are now doing. However, I can see that the rigor of the Common Core is part of the new WIDA standards.
