    The author taught a lesson on serial killers to students that incorporated both language and content objectives. They felt the objectives were achieved as students were able to correctly identify and use vocabulary words related to serial killers. Students demonstrated understanding of the vocabulary through various interactive group activities, like a scavenger hunt, that required applying the vocabulary. The author believes key aspects of SIOP like building background knowledge, student interaction, and strategic lesson delivery are important for all lessons, especially those involving ELL students. In the future, they would make vocabulary activities more interactive and engaging for students.

    SIOP Lesson Reflection

    1. Did you achieve both your language and content objectives? How can you be sure?

    a. I believe that we were successful in achieving both our language and content

    objectives. For our language objective, we wanted students to be able to identify

    in writing key definitions of the vocabulary words. We went over the vocabulary

    words as a class and the students identified the words correctly. For our language

    objective, we wanted students to correctly identify traits of various serial killers.

    During our scavenger hunt students used clues to identify who their serial killer

    was, and all students completed this successfully.

    2. Do you feel you “immersed” the students in the vocabulary? Based on your assessment,

    did the students have their own understanding of each of the vocabulary words?

    a. I feel that we immersed the students in the vocabulary because we gave students

    many opportunities to use the vocabulary. First, we defined key vocabulary to

    them during our PowerPoint, then we had students identify the vocabulary on

    worksheets, we then went over the vocabulary, and lastly students used

    vocabulary when presenting their serial killer. I think this gave students numerous

    opportunities to use the words and learn them. I think this also helped build their

    own understanding of the word because students could use the words in their own

    way and were able to practice a lot with the words.

    3. Do you feel you had enough interaction, giving students the chance to apply the

    language/content with other students? Why or why not?


    a. I think students had enough interaction with other students throughout the entire

    lesson. There were many opportunities for students to work in groups and to share

    their ideas with their peers. Students worked in groups during the scavenger hunt

    game, during this time students were able to work together to figure out which

    killer they had. They also worked together to incorporate the vocabulary words in

    their presentation to the class.

    4. What are three aspects of the SIOP process that you find effective and truly need to be in

    your lesson plans (especially if ELLs are present)?

    a. I believe one important aspect of the SIOP process that must be incorporated for

    all students, especially ELL students, is building background knowledge. I think

    this is extremely important for both the student and the teacher. This allows the

    teacher to know how much the student knows on the topic being taught and will

    help the teacher plan the lesson around the student’s needs. This helps the student

    be as successful as possible in the classroom. Another aspect of the SIOP process

    I believe is important to be in lesson plans is interaction. It is important for the

    student to be interacting with the teacher and especially his/her peers. This allows

    the student to hear the viewpoints of others and to work collaboratively with

    classmates to find answers and complete assignments. One last aspect I believe to

    be truly effective in the SIOP process is lesson delivery. It is extremely important

    for teachers to plan their lesson delivery strategically to be as successful as

    possible. Having a lesson delivery planned will help the teacher guide exactly

    what is going to be covered and the activities that will coincide with the lesson.
    5. Looking back now that you’ve competed the lesson, what is one thing you would have

    done differently? Why?

    a. Looking back on the lesson now, the one thing I would change would be to make

    vocabulary activities more interactive and fun for the students. I think that was

    probably the least fun of the entire lesson, and I think if we had more time we

    could have included a more memorable activity for students to learn the

    vocabulary that went along with the lesson. Other than that, I believe our lesson

    was very successful.
