There are eight different features to help teachers improve their instructional practices: lesson preparation, building background knowledge, comprehensible input, strategies, interaction, practice/application, lesson delivery, and assessment. Lesson preparation is the process by which a teacher examines the content and language objectives of their lesson and includes any additional materials that go along with it. Building background knowledge focuses on determining the student’s prior knowledge and experience, helping them to learn key vocabulary for the lesson. Comprehensible input is where the teacher adjusts techniques, such as voice, speech, or modeling activities, so the students can understand. Strategies emphasize scaffolding techniques, as well as the promotion of higher-order skills. Interaction focuses on a teacher’s ability to encourage their students with accomplishing their development in the language and content areas. Practice/application focus on providing students with activities that allow them to practice content and language development. Lesson delivery ensures the teacher presents the lesson along with the planned objectives. Assessment has four key components: key language and content concepts, student learning, and feedback throughout the lesson. In the SIOP model, the language and content

Throughout the essay Young voices his concern for this issue through the use of statistics, concrete facts, research and by acknowledging the issue Young is able to inform his readers about the increase rate of commercialization from universities which he believes is a universities purpose. Young notes 40 years of his life were spent at Universities and this allows the gain of credibility. Young’s audience are members of psychiatry and
The four effective practices are interdependent of one another. These concepts are the key points that provide a solution in helping English learners become fluent English speakers and be able to understand difficult lessons and high standards. The first strategy the article points out is Access, and it is used more frequently than the others. Echevarria and colleagues (2015) demonstrate that when teachers use differentiated teaching strategies, it will allow students to understand the concepts being taught more easily. For example, using multimedia to provide visual learning, or using sentence frames that will allow English Learners to be able to participate in oral

Under the blanket of stars, Lady Hel watched both Loki and Thor engage the elves. Each trying to outdo the other and she yawned.
The sacred ridge, the summit perched high above the village had come to be their temporary home. Its exposed position offered little protection from the elements. But with Tralore's unwillingness to leave, it left Umonakalisi with few remaining options, and after hammering the last steel pole into the rocky ground, he stood back to admire his handy work.

There seemed to be a backlog at the next station. When Craig had approached the others, they had been ready for him, but this time one recruit stood waiting while another sat on the table. Both young men were naked and accompanied by female soldiers. There was an older nurse holding a test tube to the arm of the recruit on the table, and drawing blood from a vein. Craig frowned; he hated having blood samples taken.
