In our class we will cover a variety of literary, poetry and nonfiction elements in both English and Spanish. The second semester we will focus on nonfiction elements standards. Both semesters will include paired stories to compare and contrast elements among genres.

For our bilingual class we will focus on our ELA standards and use both languages vocabulary to read , speak and write in both languages . First, we will practice new vocabulary words from the concept and the story to integrated in our lesson. Students will analyze the story , discuss different elements and support them with evidence through oral and written responses in both languages . We will then provide our guided practice with a gradual release of responsibility until the student is ready for the independent practice. There will be exit tickets and extra activities to complete at home to master the skill. Throughout the class we will use games and applications to have fun as we learn. 

The amount of the Spanish language introduced into the lesson will be based on the level of the class. This class is for students that can communicate in the english language and are beginners in the spanish language.
