WHAT DO LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES DO FOR STUDENTS?
• Talk about your classes you teach • Compare the first class of the day
with the last class• Compare your first and last class
of the day using comparative adjectives with a table partner.
• Bank of Comparative Adjectives: • better, louder, larger, lazier, nosier,
quieter, more attentive, more engaged, more active, more distracted, etc.

POSSIBLE STUDENT RESPONSES: Literacy:
He was mad. The character in the book was very angry. The character in the story was furious with his
mother because she wouldn’t let him go to the park.
Math:Three plus seven is ten.Three plus seven equals ten The sum of three plus seven equals ten.To solve the problem, I added three plus seven
and the sum was ten.

INTRODUCING LANGUAGE/CONTENT OBJECTIVES:
Read through overview On your own: in which indicators do you
notice “content/language objects” ? What conclusions do you draw?
Table Talk How do content/language objectives have
the potential to positively impact learning?
![Page 7: Content/Language Objectives](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd07192/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: Content/Language Objectives](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd07192/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DIVE INTO THE FRAMEWORK – I1
On your own: Circle key words in the effective column.
How does effective (5-6) compare/contrast with approaching (3-4) , not meeting (1-2) and distinguished (7)?
![Page 9: Content/Language Objectives](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd07192/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHY? With a partner, discuss your assigned bullet
from the student behaviors in effective or distinguished. In the classroom, what might that student
behavior look like? Sound like? Discuss why that particular bullet is important to
student learning.
Whole group share.

DEFINITION ACCORDING TO FRAMEWORK FOR EFFECTIVE TEACHING Content/Language objectives are measurable
statements that indicate what content students will learn and how they will demonstrate that learning through language functions and forms using appropriate supports.
- Language function is the purpose of the communication, such as narration or persuasion.
- Language forms are the conventions used to communicate, such as the grammatical structures, patterns, syntax, and mechanics associated with the sentence level meaning.

HOW DO CONTENT AND LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES SUPPORT EACH OTHER? Think about:..
Content objectives --What students are learning --The knowledge and skills students are expected to learn
Language objectives --How students express their learning (not the activity/task) --The language functions and forms students need to demonstrate their learning of the content objective

EXAMPLESContent Objectives Language Objectives
Students will solve a system of linear equations by graphing.
Students will explain their process by using transition words (first, second, third) to their partners
Students will make predictions using the words, “I predict________ because________” and context clues from the text during turn and talks.
Students will make predictions using context clues from the text.
Students will compare and contrast the experiences of former slaves and slave owners during reconstruction using the words “similar” and “different” and a graphic organizer.
Students will identify the experiences of former slaves and slave owners after reconstruction.

IF YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO… Compare and Contrast Analyze Infer Describe Explain
What would a masterful response sound like? What words would you need to hear from your students that would let you know they mastered the content objective?

LANGUAGE FUNCTIONS AND FORMS BY DEFINITION:
How will the student use the language? (Function - Bloom’s taxonomy words)
What grammatical structures and vocabulary will be used? (Forms)
Compare and ContrastRetellAnalyzePersuadeSynthesisInferDescribeExplainCategorize
•Syntax and sentence structure
•Academic vocabulary (in context, in relationship to other words)
•Grammatical features that link specifically to concept (parts of speech, tense and mood, subject/verb agreement, adjectives, adverbs etc.)

APPLICATION – YOU DO
1. Choose a content objective from your classroom.
2. How will students demonstrate their learning of the content objective?
Function (the purpose, or what students are doing with language)
Form (sentence or grammatical structures, vocabulary words)
