PRE-INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Motivation:
My fourth-grade students, aged 9-10, enjoy using Summit K-12 in class due to the variety of
topics that interest them. During small group sessions, I incorporate different games to boost
their vocabulary in their second language and improve fluency. My students need to grasp the
significance of learning a second language, not only in school but also within their community.
Many of them come from Hispanic backgrounds, where English is not the primary language
spoken at home. They understand that their family members may rely on them to communicate
in English. I strive to instill confidence in my students, especially when they are practicing and
communicating in English. By creating a safe environment in the classroom where making
mistakes is okay, my students are more willing to participate and practice English. Lastly, I
make it a point to praise my students when they complete their work in English, showcasing
progress and increased confidence, particularly in their speaking skills.
Objectives:
Before students undergo the Summit K-12 pre-assessment at the start of the school year, I will
present them with their previous year's ratings. Together, we will set individual goals for them
to accomplish by the end of the year, in preparation for the TELPAS test.
Entry Skills:
Students have already taken the TELPAS assessment and have some understanding of the
English Language.
