Brief Intro to 2012 WIDA standards • http://www.wida.us/standards/DraftRelease/player.html
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.
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.
So . . . A panda walks into the library. He eats a sandwich, then draws his bow and shoots two arrows. “Why did you do that?” asks the librarian. The panda shows her a dictionary entry. I’m a panda. That’s what it says we do. The librarian looks at the page.
