1:15 - 1:30 - Welcome & Review
 * Notetaker:
 * Turn in homework
 * Review of key terms - language function, AL learning task, additional language demands, syntax, discourse
 * What did you learn from your AL observation?

1) What is a language function? The main verb of the objective or learning target [the TPA handbook for your subject gives you a list of verbs you can use (on the planning commentary section, part 4)]. This is the task that students will do to accomplish the learning task that involves higher order thinking. 2) What is the AL learning task? The activity students do to accomplish the language function and where you get your evidence of student language use. 3) Components of additional language demands: Key vocabulary, syntax, discourse 4) What is syntax? Pattern at the sentence level (includes sentence level grammar or sentence frame). 5) What is discourse? Predictable patterns of language in a broader context than syntax. These can include genres, proofs, conventions, structures, organization, style, etc.

 * video of different perspectives to show what it means visually
 * whenever someone use AL teacher reinforced it positively
 * context for where AL would fit with example and then asked students to do it themselves
 * explained language to partner and practiced using frames
 * had to think, write, and say our sentence perspectives
 * different types of text from different perspectives
 * professor/punk exercise to make difference between AL and convo. language clear
 * Professor/punk activity in partners
 * Challenge students to create their own AL
 * Ask students for an everyday experience so that they can understand perspective from a more relatable stance
