B Read the following directions to the group:
I will read a story. Then, you will answer some questions about it by circling the correct
picture. Now listen to the story.
Many families enjoy traveling in the United States of America. They pack their clothes in
suitcases and go! While traveling across the states, the scenery can be wonderful. Travelers
can see large deserts and great forests. In a big city, like New York, they can look at many
tall buildings. If they travel to the state of Arizona, they can see the Grand Canyon. That
A^hiZc^c\
canyon is the result of the natural processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. For
families traveling by car, maps are useful to help guide them to their destinations.

Speaking
Administer this assessment individually. Use the Speech Observation Form
(page XXXVII) to record all responses.
A Direct the student’s attention to the image on pages 44 and 45 in the Student Book. Use the picture to elicit a verbal response from the student. Say:
Look at this picture. I will ask you some questions about it.
1. Point to and name three things in the picture.
If the student responds in a language other than English, ask the student to respond in
English (Can you say it in English?). If the student cannot name at least one item in the
picture in English, stop and do not ask the rest of the questions.
B Ask the student to explain or describe something in the picture.
2. What do you think the girl is writing about in the picture?
If the student gives a plausible but incorrect response, rephrase the question or ask the student for alternative responses. For instance, if the student says She’s writing
words, you may ask What places could she be writing about? If the student is unable to answer, stop and do not ask question 3.
C Ask the student to make inferences about the picture.
3. Why do some people travel in an airplane instead of a train or a boat?
If the student gives a plausible but incomplete or incorrect response, rephrase the
question or ask the student for alternative responses. For instance, if the student says
They like to, ask why he or she thinks that people like to travel in an airplane.
