    The document discusses a thematic unit designed for English learners. It applies appropriate pedagogy like incorporating multiple intelligences and uses best practices like modeled talk and demonstrations. The materials are culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate - they use sources that can be understood anywhere, avoid difficult words, and build up tasks. Learning activities use students' prior knowledge and primary language by starting with relatable questions. Teaching strategies integrate the four language domains through multiple media, research, note-taking, and more. Assessments include word banks, repetition, group work, homework, and visuals to measure academic achievement. The benefits of multilingualism discussed are better memory, understanding more concepts, and multitasking ability

    Questions:

    1. How does your thematic unit apply appropriate pedagogy and best practices are
    used for the instruction of English learners? (Tasks 1.1 and 1.2)
    My thematic unit applies appropriate pedagogy because it incorporates some of Howard
    Gardner’s multiple intelligences like logical, visual, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. The
    best practices that are used for the instruction of English learners in my thematic unit is
    modeled talk, demonstrations, visuals, explanations before they start the task, group
    work, and graphic organizers/worksheets that map out what their goal for that task is.
    2. How are the materials used in your thematic unit culturally, linguistically, and
    developmentally appropriate for English learners? (Task 2)
    The materials used in my thematic unit are culturally, linguistically, and developmentally
    appropriate for English learners. The materials are culturally appropriate because we are
    using materials and sources that can be used anywhere but maybe in different ways. My
    materials are also linguistically appropriate for ELL’s because I didn’t use difficult words
    that would be culturally bias. And if there was a word that I thought would be hard for
    the ELL’s, I wrote it on the board. Lastly, my materials were developmentally
    appropriate for ELL students because I built them up to each task and showed them a
    demonstration of how to achieve that task.
    3. How do the learning activities in your thematic unit use English learners’ prior
    knowledge and primary language? (Tasks 3.1 and 3.2)
    The learning activities in my thematic unit use ELL’s prior knowledge and primary
    language when I am building background knowledge with the class. Most of the time in
    my lessons I start the lesson with questions that the students might know or can relate to.
    This allows the ELL’s to use prior knowledge but probably not so much primary
    language.
    4. How do the teaching strategies in your thematic unit integrate and develop English
    learners’ academic English in reading, writing, listening and speaking? (Task 4)
    The teaching strategies in my thematic unit integrate and develop ELL’s academic
    English in reading, writing, listening, and speaking because I incorporated multiple
    medias and sources of learning. For example, in my lessons I am either reading a book to
    the class or they are watching a video, conducting their own research, writing down facts
    in their booklet, taking notes, reading articles to find information, and much more.
    5. What assessment tools and techniques are included in your thematic unit to
    measure English learners’ academic achievement? (Task 5)
    An assessment tool and technique that is included in my thematic unit to measure ELL’s
    academic achievement is word banks, repetition, group work, homework and
    pictures/visuals.
    6. What are the benefits of multilingualism? (Task 6)
    The benefit of multilingualism is having a better memory, understanding more concepts,
    and being able to multitask. A good memory allows you to retain more information.
    Understanding more concepts opens more doors for the students and being able to
    multitask allows the student to grow apart from listening and concentrating very deeply
    to becoming a natural listener and understand everything more naturally.
    7. How does your thematic unit incorporate English learners’ cultural and linguistic
    assets into the classroom? (Task 6)
    My thematic unit incorporates ELL’s cultural and linguistic assets into the classroom by
    talking about different continents, countries, state, and landforms. These places may be
    the place they come from, have family, or share the same language. It also allows the
    ELL students to learn about new cultures as some of the other students may be learning
    new cultures as well, apart from where both students come from.
