AC9EFLA01 · Words That Fit Who We Are Talking To

Learning focus: I can notice who I am talking with, where we are and why I am speaking, then choose words that fit. Families and communities may use different words. More than one choice can be kind, clear and correct for its setting.

Model it: Use the skill in reading, speaking or writing: Match words to the person, place and purpose. Home: Can I have a snack? School: May I please have help? Friend: Want to play?

Ask the learner: What is the main idea of how language is used differently at home and school depending on relationships?

Look for: The learner can I can notice who I am talking with, where we are and why I am speaking, then choose words that fit. Families and communities may use different words. More than one choice can be kind, clear and correct for its setting in a fresh example and explain the evidence or reasoning without copying the model.

If they are stuck: If the learner guesses or repeats a rule without evidence, return to the concrete or visual model and ask them to explain what each part shows.
