AL Practice

> []) As you are observing, take notes on the following items:
 * Housekeeping:**
 * For Thursday, Feb 13 - In your field placement, focus your attention on academic language. (If you don't have a field placement, you could watch a video from this site:
 * Discipline-specific vocabulary/structures that are critical to that particular lesson
 * Discipline-specific vocabulary/structures that are fundamental to your discipline
 * General academic language
 * Any instructional support for AL
 * Any observed or potential student difficulties with AL


 * Write a short summary (1-2 paragraphs) describing what you learned. Upload to Blackboard.
 * Your first lesson plan (engagement + AL) is due on 2/28. It would be great (but not required) if you could teach and videotape this lesson. Start making plans with your CT and supervisor.
