Annotation: The instructional design project (IDP) was researched and created because of the growing global need for teachers to better serve those coming into international school classrooms with limited social and academic English. Because of the growing number of students and families who seek to use English as their academic lingua franca, challenges will continue to exist as teachers are often underprepared to serve this educational need especially in text-dense subjects such as Religion and Social Studies. This IDP sought to address this by providing lesson planning strategies to meet the needs of educators where they may feel a knowledge and/or skill gap, using an exemplar of a combined lesson plan and template based on Psalm 23 for K-12 settings.

Keywords: The instructional design project (IDP), global need for teachers, academic English, Religion and Social Studies
