How to use the Mango Curriculum

1. Getting started

If you’re just getting started with the Mango Curriculum, take a look at the Scope and Sequence to understand what’s coming in each chapter.

The Scope and Sequence shows the chapters included in each semester of the course sequence. For each chapter, it includes:

• the estimated proficiency level

• title/topic

• essential question

• cultural topics

• communicative goals

• grammar goals

• interdisciplinary connections

2. At the beginning of the semester

Open the Curriculum Index that corresponds to the course you are teaching. You will see organized links to all of the materials you need to teach for the semester.

3. Starting a chapter

1. Open the Teacher Edition for the chapter

2. Review the cover page to give you a sense of what’s coming in the chapter

3. Review the pacing guide to get a more detailed breakdown of how the lessons for this chapter will fit into your upcoming weeks

You’ve made a plan for your semester and you know what’s coming for the chapter you’re about to teach. Now it’s time to start teaching!

4. Teaching a lesson

Skim the lesson plan to get a general idea of the following:

1. 1. How many class periods will this cover?

   2. What activities are coming?

      • Which ones will you do in class?

      • Will you assign any as homework?

      • Will you use any as assessments?

      • Do you want to change the order at all?

      • Do you need to make any modifications for your class?

   3. What materials/prep do you need? Do you need to print anything?

      • Check the Student Materials for printable worksheets and manipulatives

   4. Click through the slides

      • Maybe modify if needed/able
