註釋In the last decade, dual language programs have increased in popularity because longitudinal studies have shown dual language programs to be very effective at closing the academic gap for immigrant children. The purpose of this project was to develop two units of instruction for a dual language classroom that will use Visible Thinking Routines across Science and Social Studies in order to increase student engagement in three realms: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive. This project investigated the application of Project Zero's Visible Thinking Routines to a fourth grade classroom by creating sample science and social studies lessons. These routines are taught to students to help make visible and concrete their internal thinking, their connections, and associations; it also provides sentence frames to help them express these thoughts. Through a literature investigation, the theories of Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, and Lev Vygotsky were studied to understand fourth grade students. Literature on student engagement with focus on emotional, behavioral, and cognitive engagement was explored. With this research on both development and engagement, science and social studies units were written incorporating Visible Thinking Routines. The result is a project containing two units of lessons incorporating Visible Thinking Routines in two different subjects, science and social studies. Each unit contains four sample lesson plans that incorporates Visible Thinking Routines. The science unit, Plant and Animal Structures and Functions Unit, is used to demonstrate a pacing plan and the progression of the topic through a six week period. The social studies unit, Social Studies Unit: Introduction to Geography, is a shorter more focused unit. The project found ways to incorporate Visible Thinking Routines in fourth grade dual language, standards based, science and social studies unit that will help foster student engagement by developing metacognitive skills.
