Reading furnishes the

mind only with materials of

knowledge; it is thinking that

makes what we read ours.

- John Locke

Go beyond traditional teaching

Planning Lessons with the 4Cs• Content- How can we make the material

more accessible to our language learners? What might they already know about the topic?

• Communication- What vocabulary will students need to use? What grammar structures will they use?

• Cognition- What thinking tasks will they do? Classifying, identifying, etc.

• Culture- What cultural considerations can you make?
