Search for a Lesson or Unit
We are pleased to be able to share content-based lesson plans and units
that have been created by CoBaLTT teacher participants and other teachers
who have learned about CBI in other University of Minnesota programs.
You will find complete descriptions, along with the necessary handouts,
assessment rubrics, links to critical resources, etc. - everything you
need to implement them in your classroom!
There are both content-based
lessons and content-based units. The lessons are typically from 1-5
days in length, where the units are made up of
multiple lessons, cover a longer time period and have a greater depth
of content.
These lesson plans and units were created on an annual basis
from the beginning of the CoBaLTT project in 1999. Our expectations
changed over the seven-year span of the project, and you will find varying
depths
of content in the lessons and units, varying ways of constructing
language
objectives, and varying degrees of language and content integration
as well as other changes.

"Stellar" Units
|
|
These units are stellar examples of in-depth treatment of content and
content and language integration. Some of them were created for purposes
other than the CoBaLTT program and thus may contain extra content not
required by the CoBaLTT template (such as unit goals and teacher reflections).

CBI Lessons |
Some of these units
do not have the same depth of content as the stellar units, as
they can be considered more “language-driven” rather
than “content-driven”. They demonstrate varying degrees
of content/language integration (immersion units are more “content-driven” and
traditional foreign language units tend to be more “language-driven”).

At the beginning
of the CoBaLTT project, we required participants to create individual
lessons. These lessons will demonstrate varying
degrees of content/language integration (immersion lessons are
more “content-driven” and traditional foreign language
units tend to be more “language-driven”).
