UNIT 1 BRIDGES TO LANGUAGE ARTS DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Build Vocabulary: Loan Words • Apply knowledge of word relationships to determine meaning Have students turn to a classmate to read the information about loan words together. Ask: What loan word did we learn earlier in this unit? (memoir) What language does it come from? (French) Why are we studying memoirs in this unit about identity? Elicit that a memoir is a memory. Memories shape us, as do our roots. Ask pairs to read the loan words in the chart together and tell what they know about them. • Consult reference materials to determine meaning If there are any words that are unfamiliar in the chart, ask pairs to look them up in a dictionary. Then assign each pair a loan word and ask them to look it up in a dictionary to find more information about the word and where it came from. Have pairs present the information they discover to the class. A Adapt writing to a variety of contexts and communicative tasks Emphasize to students that the purpose of this activity is to link the unrelated words in any way they like to create a story. The results will most likely be silly as the words are unrelated in meaning. B Listen for specific information Ask students to listen closely to their classmates as they read their silly stories aloud and check off or write each loan word they hear. Then have students read aloud the list of loan words they used for their classmates to check their lists for accuracy.

Practice Book p. 12 Assessment Program Quiz: Bridges to Language Arts EXPLORE AND LEARN PRACTICE COMMUNICATE Scaffold Be purposeful about pairing students to discuss the loan words in the chart. Instead of letting students self-select or randomly pairing students, pair students with lower language development with students who have higher levels of language development to encourage and enhance peer support. Amplify Challenge students to identify five more loan words. They can use words they know or do research to discover new words. For each word, have them write the meaning and the language it comes from. Ask students to present their lists to a group. Encourage classmates to ask questions about the loan words and share any additional information they know about them. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Read aloud the poem on page 26. Use correct intonation to show questions. Use emotion to show exclamation points. Build Vocabulary LOAN WORDS English has been influenced by languages around the world. We can see this in English words. There are thousands of loan words from over 300 languages. A loan word is the exact word taken from another language. For example, pizza is a loan word. Do you know what language it comes from? Consider these loan words. Which words do you already know? Did you know their origin?
