CCRS in the ESL Classroom: Intermediate/High Intermediate ESL

Watch a professional adult ESL teacher guide her class through a reading lesson aligned to the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS). During this lesson, learners strengthen their reading comprehension skills, use techniques to discuss and build vocabulary, and focus in on an embedded grammar point.

This lesson focuses on CCRS Reading Anchor 1, Level C, and requires learners to: 1) Identify  and  highlight  evidence  that  supports  their  answers  to  text-dependent  inference  questions  as  evidenced  by  their  responses  to  the  questions  and  highlighting  marks  in  the  text, and 2) Accurately  quote  or  paraphrase  specific  evidence  from  the  text  as  evidenced  by    small  group  and  whole  class  discussions.
