Week 7 Assignment

Use the WIDA Can Do Descriptors Activity Word document and the following WIDA Can Do Descriptors (Pages 6 & 7) to complete Week 7 Assignment:

• WIDA CAN DO Descriptors
• ELL CAN DO Booklet – Grades K
• ELL CAN DO Booklet – Grades 1-2
• ELL CAN DO Booklet – Grades 3-5
• ELL CAN DO Booklet – Grades 6-8
• ELL CAN DO Booklet – Grades 9-12

Given the students’ grades and level of proficiency in each language domain, list the WIDA Can Do Descriptors that correlate to that student’s English language proficiency (ELP) level for each language domain. Then, list ways you could differentiate your instruction and classroom assessments to better align with the students’ levels of proficiency.

Discuss

Describe a listening/speaking activity you could use in class to develop either the BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communicative Skills) or CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) of students.
