MNPS WIDA Language objectives
This document discusses language and content objectives. It defines a content objective as what students will learn about a subject, and a language objective as the specific language skills students will practice. The purpose of objectives is to align language and content goals so that learning a subject also helps students improve their language skills. An example is given of a content objective about classifying shapes and a language objective for a student to label types of lines and angles using certain vocabulary words. The document also provides a sample analysis of language needs and corresponding language objectives for making predictions about states of matter.
