This document provides guidance for identifying the communicative skills to develop in students through a unit plan on healthy food. It instructs the reader to complete a chart listing: 1) content language (vocabulary and structures) to teach, 2) basic interpersonal classroom language needed, and 3) scaffolded language to help develop the unit and allow students to work in groups, think critically and express opinions. An example unit on creating a poster about healthy food advice is given to demonstrate how to complete the chart.
