This guest blog is written and composed by three teachers from Frankfurt International School Wiesbaden (FISW), Renske Oort, Andrea Uhl and Megan Dreher. FISW is an international school with students from age 3 to grade 8 with a mixed proficiency in English, ranging from students for whom English is their home language to entering and emerging ELL's. Therefore all mainstream teachers are aware that they are ELA teachers at the same time. This means that ELA students are guided by both classroom and specialised ELA teachers, in the classroom as well as in pull out groups. Homeroom and ELA teachers, like Andrea and Megan, work closely together in planning, teaching, and assessing.

In this blog Renske, Andrea and Megan show the possibilities of improving (language) education by using wordless media such as books and videos to provide students with opportunities to learn and think deeply. In the podcast, you will hear an interview with Megan Dreher.

Tip: If this is the first time that you are working with wordless media in your ELA classroom, start with a mini-lesson with a wordless book such as shown in the first examples (Part 3, A and B). Gradually you can expand to lesson series, where you can use the full potential of wordless media.
Table of contents:

Part 1 Our experiences - with a short overview of the research, the events which led to it, and how the outcomes were applied .

Part 2 How to get started - framework plus example

Part 3 Impressions of lessons and lesson series

Part 4 Wordless media list - some recommendations

Part 5 References and suggestions for further reading

Part 1 Our experiences
Renske Oort
When Grade 4 students at FISW watched the video 'Father and Daughter' (Dudok de Wit, 2000) in connection with a unit on Migration, they were both amazed and enchanted by the story. But for English language learner Jenny, it meant even more: it was the first time since her arrival earlier in the school year that she understood what the story was about and that she could participate in the lesson. The reason? The video was wordless.

Jenny was eager and able to join the group discussion that followed because she had the pictures of the story fresh in her head and her classmates mimicked cycling up a mountain against the wind, to visualize what they wanted to say. Along the way her vocabulary increased. Then the class wrote a text with an image from the story. Jenny was encouraged to write in her home language, so she wrote and wrote and wrote. At the end of the lesson, she had a big smile on her face.

In 2019, with guidance from teachers Andrea Uhl and Renske Oort, Grade 4 students started to explore what possibilities wordless media such as books and videos could offer to further improve learning in their multilingual classrooms, both in literacy lessons and those connected to the Units of Inquiry.

Wordless media are engaging, encourage the use of home languages, stimulate interaction and challenge to think deeply

Throughout the whole process, students were encouraged to use their home languages to discuss and write about the various wordless media. In comparison with normal texts, it turned out that using wordless media not only engaged the students more, it also stimulated interaction and improved the language skills of English language learners, while challenging all students to think deeply. The students noted that the fiction and non-fiction wordless media were inspiring, fun and interesting. "It helps me understand more," an ELL student said. And several students noted: "It makes us think more." As Jenny described it: "When there are no words, you can think more ideas. I learn English, but I learn thinking, too."

Wordless stories tell the whole story without words, including emotions, character traits, meanings and themes. FISW Middle School English teacher Scott Hardgrove, who just used a wordless book in a Grade 6 poetry unit, points out: "Even wordless books that seem to be meant for younger students contain a lot of symbolism. The 'readers' need to understand and interpret the text structure, symbolism, open endings," he says. For this they use the same processes in the brain as they do with normal texts. In non-fiction pieces, too, they need to explore and 'reread' to understand what is going on.

Wordless media offer opportunities for connections between grades and create a level playing field

With the guidance of librarian Natasha Pollock, during Information Literacy, Middle School students thoroughly explored wordless books. Then they selected their favourite book to share with younger students through Zoom. Ms Pollock: "The wordless books offer great opportunities for connections between grade levels."

Ms.Uhl adds: "Wordless stories are evenly accessible and comprehensible for all students. They provide built-in differentiation possibilities for language and thinking skills." In other words, they create a level playing field in our multilingual classrooms with mixed proficiencies.

Wordless media are valuable for all ages and versatile

Visuals as a support in content learning and the Units of Inquiry are seen regularly in the lower grades, but they are just as valuable in the higher grades of Elementary school and Middle and Upper school, according to Soledad Chinchilla, FISW ELA and Spanish teacher.

Megan Dreher, who teaches ELA, uses wordless books often to make connections with the units in the homerooms, with sentence starters for the emerging English language learners. "They are excellent for Universal Design for Learning and also easy to use in distance learning and with tools such as Voicethread, Seesaw, Google Classroom and Jamboard. I have developed an addiction, there are so many beautiful wordless books and videos. Look at the new ones I found!"

Wordless media make 'readers' look AND listen better

In the meantime, Jenny chose to use wordless stories in her Grade 5 Exhibition project and discovered another advantage: "Because there are no words, the people cannot read, so they have to listen to me." The stories may be wordless, but the students are less and less speechless.

Visible Thinking Routines with Symbols (Laura Wright)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Visible Thinking Routines, are a series of processes developed by Harvard's Project Zero and published in Ron Ritchart's book Making Thinking Visible. They are completely amazing - simple yet powerful structures for thinking and learning. These structures have been adopted as one of the five essential practices at my new school.

These are pedagogical approaches that all teachers in the primary are using across ages and discipline areas. At my previous school I liked to use symbols to represent the different routines and steps within them. So I created a set of posters for the routines we focus on... Plus a few more just because I like them 🙂

For each of the routines I am also going to make templates we can use to structure student recording (round about way of saying worksheet... but not a worksheet).
