This year is the first year at LHS where I have had ENL students. In my art class I have all supplies labeled in English but have tried learning some of them in Spanish. I do have some knowledge of basic Spanish and try to speak with students in their native language and then repeat myself in English. I use a lot of visuals and demonstrate the skills needed for my students. I ask if they understand and about 95% of the time they do.

I have had a diverse group of students over the past 15 years. I agree with my colleague that it is helpful to have plenty of visuals. I feel like art lends itself well to ENL students because of its expressive and visual characteristics. Also I think its important to encourage students to express themselves through their art.

Develop a diverse lesson plan incorporating a variety of content areas that accommodates ELL's. The lesson will focus on MLK Day and teaching students about the significance of the day while applying real-world skills and knowledge. Examples: Social Studies - Discussing the meaning of the day and why it is important, Art - developing visuals to illustrate these concepts, Business - creating a strategic plan to promote the work to others, PPS - identifying the social /motivational aspects of MLK Day.

Strategy - Students will work together n mixed ability groups to review photos of the Civil Rights Movement based on visual characteristics of the images (peaceful vs nonpeaceful protests, facial expressions) while also having a vocab list.

In many ways, music transcends language barriers. The use of visual aids and clear gestures help convey meaning and instructions. When singing, lyric sheets with side by side translations help students understand the meaning of what they are singing. Singing songs in different languages (like Latin or Afrikaans or Portuguese, which we have done in the past) helps level the playing field for all students including ELLs

1. Pre-teach vocabulary: Provide a list of key vocabulary words in the lesson before teaching the topic.

2. Visuals: Use pictures, videos, and maps to understand the key events.

3. Jigsaw reading: Divide the class into small groups when assigning reading passages; varied ability groups including students with English proficiency.

4. Sentence stems: Provide sentence stems to help students complete written tasks.

For next lesson--> Graphic organizers: Use a graphic organizer to help students organize the material, include icons, visuals, and the vocab words in the graphic organizer to support learning.

Focus on cognates

Cognates are words in different languages that are derived from the same original word or root. Note that about 40% of all English words have similar cognates in Spanish! This is an obvious bridge to the English language – if the student is made aware of how to use this resource.

Cognates are related words like family and familia, director and director, and conversation and conversación. False cognates do exist (mano in Spanish means hand, not man), but they are the exception to the rule. Encourage ELLs to guess at words and try to decipher text based on this existing knowledge. The more familiarity a teacher has with Spanish, the easier it is to point out these connections.
