2 Seasons and Weather: Supplemental Guide | Introduction


The Vocabulary Instructional Activity focuses on building students’
general academic, or Tier 2, vocabulary. Part B concludes with an interim
assessment opportunity called an End-of-Lesson Check-In; this is a dual
opportunity for the teacher to focus on a select group of students to
directly assess the students’ language and content knowledge in a low-
stress environment. Moreover, the teacher can gauge which students
may be in need of additional language or content support.

Even-Numbered Lessons
Even-numbered lessons also contain two parts (50 minutes total), which
are to be covered at different intervals during the day.
Part A (35 minutes) includes:


  • Introducing the Read-Aloud

  • Presenting the Read-Aloud

  • Discussing the Read-Aloud
    If necessary, Part A can be divided into two sessions with 15 minutes for
    Introducing the Read-Aloud up to Purpose for Listening and 20 minutes
    for Purpose for Listening, Presenting the Read-Aloud, and Discussing the
    Read-Aloud.
    Later in the day, Part B (15 minutes) should be covered and includes
    extension activities related to the lesson.
    This domain includes a Pausing Point following Lesson 5, after the
    seasons have been introduced. At the end of the domain, a Domain
    Review, a Domain Assessment, and Culminating Activities are included
    to allow time to review, reinforce, assess, and remediate content
    knowledge. You should spend no more than twelve days total on this
    domain.
