This document outlines strategies for promoting oral discourse in an English class for second grade students. It discusses using a book about a party to teach vocabulary about food and drinks, days of the week, and grammar. Activities are proposed to help students learn to talk about types of food and drinks, identify healthy and unhealthy options, understand the food guide pyramid, and describe a daily menu. Differentiated strategies include a gallery walk, video on a balanced diet, collective poster on health and food, paper plate crafts, and using a KWL chart with videos to build background knowledge.
