into four groups of five that the students will work in throughout
the lesson. Make sure that in each group pre-cut construction
paper, glue stick and scissor(optional) are available.
Introduce the lesson topic by playing the introductory home pizza
making video (approximately 5 minutes). Prior to playing the
video, briefly explain the goals of the lesson. Following the video
showing, point out the aspects of a proper procedure that the
actress included, such as a good step by step processes and final
product presentation, and those that she lacked, such as initial list
of materials.
Proceed by working through the PowerPoint introducing all the
new vocabulary.
Show each new vocabulary word on a slide with its counterpart in
Spanish and a representative picture.
Say each new word out loud and then have the students repeat
after you 3 times.
This should take about 10 minutes
Class Activity:
Briefly explain the directions of the activity to the class:
Each student will make a pizza out of construction paper and is
required to put a minimum of five toppings from the vocabulary
list on it.
Each student will receive a pre-cut circular piece of construction
paper which may either be distributed while the directions are
being given or have been previously placed at each group prior to
the beginning of the lesson.
Toppings are left to the discretion of the teacher, they may either
be pre-cut out of construction paper and given to each table, or
student may cut out their own using scissors and loose leaf
construction paper. From a time perspective, it is probably in the
teachers best interest to pre-cut the construction paper toppings.
Toppings are to be glued down to pizza.
Students may decorate their pizzas however they see fit, and may
use the colored markers or pencils for additional design where
needed, such as for sauce coloring.
Students need to label each topping with its proper English name
using the provided black sharpie markers.
Give the students about twenty minutes to complete their pizzas.
After the twenty minutes is up, tell the students to quickly return
any unused materials to their respective locations in the center of
their groups.
Go around the classroom and have each student stand and share
with the class the five toppings they chose to put on their pizza.
This should take about five minutes
As each student finishes sharing their pizza, have them write their
name on the back and then turn it in for evaluation of writing

English language learners (ELLs). It discusses
several strategies for educating ELLs on basic
English vocabulary. One such strategy is the use of
