Designed for 11th grade language arts classrooms and also used in Adult GED/ESL contexts, the instructional focus of this lesson is literary devices conveying irony. The lesson provides a particularly salient example of how to build background, provide comprehensible input and model all four language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) for English language learners. 
Adapted from the widely used Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP Model, this publication presents the 8 components and 30 features of the SIOP Model and includes teaching scenarios and explicit guidance on how to implement the components in secondary classrooms. 
This updated and expanded professional development manual is designed to assist teacher educators, staff developers, and leaders at the school, district, and state levels as they prepare teachers of English language learners to use the SIOP Model. By incorporating these instructional models in their classroom, teachers can improve the language proficiency and grade-level content knowledge of their linguistically and culturally diverse students. 
This institute is designed for specialists who provide professional development to educators who teach reading in classes with English language learners. Spend 3 days in Washington, DC, at our What’s Different About Teaching Reading to Students Learning English? training of trainers institute.
