News in Levels "World News for Students in English"

# data[].attributes.body
The main assets to this site for emergent bilinguals are the levels and listening option.  Using this in the classroom, all students can access the same content at their appropriate proficiency level.  The option to listen to the article and follow along is supportive of emergent bilinguals.  Finally, world news can potentially offer interesting topics to fuel meaningful discussions.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a resource that I would consider using with a newcomer.  If they have internet and technology at home, I would recommend this for vocabulary building outside of instructional time.  The pictures and the listening option provide good support for beginners.

Using real world photos to learn language can be a highly engaging strategy! This site has a variety of striking photographs that could be used to incite meaningful discussion between students. I would use it in a gallery walk, where students move around the room, working in small groups (2-3) to respond to a prompt for different photos.

TED Talks always provide great insight and innovative ideas. In perusing the site, my attention was caught by the talk by Sir Ken Robinson. He is a revolutionary thinker and this is the kind of radical visioning we need in education, especially for emergent bilinguals.

To Those Who May Be Interested,

I haven't updated for over a year as I have been involved with other activities. I do plan on getting back to it, so for those of you who have used my materials, any feedback is very welcome as I start a new round before terribly long. There are some amazing TEDTalks that I am itching to turn into lessons. Thanks and I hope what I've done so far has been a help. Thank you! Doug

Observations are one of the best ways to learn new strategies that can stretch and grow our teaching, to best serve our students.
