Explain that the text The Bilingual Education Debate and the Immersion video are about what proponents and opponents say are the advantages and disadvantages of different language policies and how these policies lead to proficiency in English and a native language.Ask students to turn to the Day 3 Word Web in their Student Workbook and to create a word web showing words associated with the terms policy, proponent, and opponent? How are these words similar? How are they different?Note for teachers: The word web is a semantic activity that adds to student understanding of vocabulary depth as well as their use of vocabulary in multiple contexts. Word webs can include language connected to text, but are not limited to only language from the book. Introduce Word Parts (10 minutes)Morphology BankPresent and discuss the words parts in proficient(ly). Explain to students that the –ly ending changes an adjective (i.e. words that describe nouns) into an adverb (i.e. words that describe verbs). Many (but not all) adverbs end in –ly. –ly is a suffix meaning “in a certain way” or “like or having the character of.”Explain that The Bilingual Education Debate text and Immersion video are about how schools can help students learn to speak English proficiently. The word proficiently comes from the word proficient. Proficient is an adjective that describes a person as in: Moises was not proficient in English. Proficient is an adverb that describes a verb as in: Moises does not yet speak English proficiently. Proficiently means having the character of proficiency when speaking. Point out what the adjective and adverb are describing.Metalinguistic awareness think-aloud: In our previous lessons, we learned that when we change the ending of a word (or the suffix), we often change its part of speech or function. In English, -ly changes an adjective to an adverb and tells how the main verb is happening. How does –ly change these words from adjectives into adverbs? Easy to easily; Quick to quickly; And quiet to quietly.Morphology Bank: Add –ly to the morphology bank. Model how to use the morphology strategy (look for parts you know) when trying to figure out new words. ?For teacher reference:PrefixMeaningExample-lyin a certain way or like or having the character of (changes an adjective into an adverb and describes a verb)Proficient/ProficientlySemantic Activity (14 minutes)Bilingual Education Morphology GameInvite students to create –ly words playing the Day 3 Bilingual Education Morphology Game. Explain that students will extract the base word from existing sentences, create a new word by adding the –ly suffix, and use the new word in a sentence. Provide clarification/guidance as needed. Consider using a dictionary for tricky words. Please see the attached Day 3 Bilingual Education Morphology Game materials for complete directions and examples.
