Question Approaches to Supporting Student Growth and Promoting Peer Learning
In junior high school English classrooms, some students may demonstrate advanced proficiency in English compared to their peers. Teachers should not only support these students in continuing to challenge themselves, but also leverage their strengths to foster a collaborative learning environment for the entire class. Please respond to the following two questions:

Q3. Lesson Plan Design (30%) Please design a 4-period English-as-a-medium-of-instruction (EMI) lesson plan based on Irena Sendler: A Holocaust Hero (see the text below) for 11th graders at Kaohsiung Girls' Senior High School to enhance their language skills, creativity, and criticality. Describe how you leverage two important pedagogical approaches, including translanguaging and multimodality, and integrate other historical events with the story of Irena Sendler, focusing on language practice and historical comparison. Please elaborate on specific teaching objectives, tasks, teaching materials and assessment methods. Irena Sendler: A Holocaust Hero It was the early morning of October 20, 1943, and eleven German Gestapo* agents had just burst through the front door of a Polish* woman's apartment. They searched her home from top to bottom, tearing open every pillow and mattress*. If they had entered just seconds earlier, they would have found the precious list before the woman slipped³ it to her friend. After three hours of searching, they gave up and arrested the woman. Knowing the list was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady was Irena Sendler, a compassionate social worker who lived in Warsaw*, Poland. During World War II, the Nazis* seized7 control of this city and announced the establishment of the Warsaw Ghetto*. Over 400, 000 Jews* were herded into this area, and thousands of them were dying from starvation8 and disease every month. Horrified by these shocking conditions, Irena decided to join an underground resistance group and began helping to bring in food and medicine to the Jews secretly. However, she soon realized this would not be enough, as the ghetto was sealed9 and the Nazis had already started sending Jews to death camps. Determined to help, Irena recruited¹0 her friends and colleagues¹1! for a risky mission: sneaking12 Jewish children out ofthe ghetto. To enter the isolated area, they managed to obtain 13 official passes. Once inside, they faced an even bigger challenge: convincing14 Jewish parents to hand their children over to strangers. In the end, many parents made the heart-wrenching* decision in hopes that their children could survive even if they themselves couldn't. Hidden in everything from suitcases15 to flour sacks¹6, the children were smuggled¹7 out in various ways. One ambulance¹8 driver even hid babies under stretchers* and trained his dog to bark in order to drown out their cries. Irena and the other courageous¹9 people were risking their own lives. Once caught, these compassionate smugglers and their families would certainly facé execution20. After successfully escaping, the children were given new identities, complete with fake2¹ birth documents22 and family records. Some were taken in by kind and brave Polish families, while others were sent to orphanages* or convents*. Irena hoped that after the war the children could be reunited with their parents, so she kept detailed records. Her list included each child's real name, his or her new identity, location, and parents' names. Unfortunately, at the height of this rescue operation, Irena was arrested for her underground work. Despite being brutally tortured, she refused to reveal any information. She chose to sacrifice her own life instead of putting the lives of others at risk. Eventually, Irena was rescued by her friends and continued to work to save Jewish children while living in hiding. If Irena and her friends had not helped, over 2,000 children would have ended up in the death camps. To this day, Irena Sendler is still remembered for her selfless acts during the Holocaust. While she never admitted23 it, she was a true hero who risked her life to save others, and her story of bravery24 and compassion continues to inspire people all over the world.-Written by Kelsi Wright
