MACC.1.G.1.1 Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes. 

Common Core Standards:
CCSS.Math.Content.1.G.A.1 Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes
ESOL Standards:
15) Evaluate, select, and employ appropriate instructional materials, media, and technology for ESOL at elementary, middle, and high school levels.

STEP BY STEP

1. Identify language objectives
2. Identify and model problematic structures
3. Plan an Instructional sequence
4. Assess and document student progress
5. Add Technology

In order for the teacher to organize a lesson using this strategy, he/she must first identify the academic language necessary for students learn about the subject.Then the teacher will plan activities and games that will support the use of the language in multiple functions. This strategy supports both the language and content of the lesson. 

Topic	Activities	Language Functions	Language Structures	Vocabulary
Shape	Sorting Attributes Blocks by Shape	Classifying Describing	They are all [shape]	Triangle Circle Square Rectangle
Size	Sorting Attribute Blocks by size	Classifying Describing Comparing Contrasting	These [shape] are all [size]. This one is [smaller, larger].	Large Small Medium Smaller Larger Bigger Littler
