- choosing appropriate picture books (considerations)
- using picture books before reading, while reading, and after reading.

The presentation was full of strategies for using picture books. What I really got out of it was the ways in which to expand on the picture books as well as good activities to do after reading.

I took a couple of screen shots that I am including here; Debbie didn't send a copy of the presentation because it has copyrighted material in it, and it wouldn't be ethical (although possibly legal?) to distribute it as a result. She did include a list of picture books she's used. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e4GO-5nFrWvxsox1wTZTI7ZbGcIsyz6zW0bU4ONL_J0/edit?usp=sharing]]> 2022-03-03 20:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2076657157 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2076689635 Suan Schnell, from Conversations in English (CIE) volunteer program at the Boulder Public Library, shared how she uses stories with English language learners of all ages. This was a demonstration presentation. In the demonstration, she told a story about "First Man and First Woman: A Quarrel." Suan explained that she gives as many vivid reminders as possible, connecting to all five senses, so that there are "hooks" on which to hang comprehension. She also reviewed these things during the storytelling. For example, she opened the story with a bright picture of a strawberry and asked us if we could imagine holding it, smelling it, tasting it.

She described how to connect the story to the students and to their cultural backgrounds. She also expressed that fluency is being able to make a sentence that puts a picture in someone's mind -- to communicate the picture in your mind to another person.
 
I will try to type up the story she read and attach it here.]]> 2022-03-03 21:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2076689635 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297038899 https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxiZXN0cHJhY3RpY2VzZm9yYWR1bHRyZWZ1Z2Vlc3xneDo1ODYzZjY4YzQyNGQwOWVj]]> 2022-09-14 20:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297038899 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297043360 https://www.academia.edu/41365500/Teaching_and_tutoring_adult_emergent_readers_with_refugee_backgrounds_Implementing_a_training_program_for_community_volunteers]]> 2022-09-14 20:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297043360 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297045562 There is an excellent PDF at this link about teaching adult ESL refugee learners. https://globalaccess.bowvalleycollege.ca/our-resources/publications-resources/strategies-teaching-adult-refugees-ell-classroom]]> 2022-09-14 20:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297045562 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297047169 https://sites.google.com/site/bestpracticesforadultrefugees/research-and-theory]]> 2022-09-14 20:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297047169 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297076290 https://gsi.berkeley.edu/gsi-guide-contents/learning-theory-research/neuroscience/]]> 2022-09-14 20:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297076290 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297079333 https://www.proliteracy.org/Portals/0/Tutor-Training-Puzzle/story.html?&utm_campaign=Education%20Network%20-%20CRM%20Project&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=222947608&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8iwArLnqRHAL3819eucfG8Gr7io2LNhUzyhX4dJcCDA_jKJUQuiJ03MuvJpO6QO7a6yzH3VpLJzNwZgINbteaZcZzBZw&utm_content=222947608&utm_source=hs_email]]> 2022-09-14 20:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297079333 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297079797 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq3gSAXCeOc]]> 2022-09-14 20:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297079797 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297080532 2022-09-14 20:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297080532 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297080897 https://globalaccess.bowvalleycollege.ca/esl-literacy-readers]]> 2022-09-14 20:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297080897 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297081600 https://www.crowdedlearning.org/our-work/eslstorybank]]> 2022-09-14 20:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2297081600 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2313946205 By Rob Sheppard 4/27/2021]]> 2022-09-26 16:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2313946205 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2313954808 2022-09-26 16:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2313954808 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320025916 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ojUTcq8jIwOifWdl_Yip4ZaHbgW3wtYTO4c5LLXv6_M/edit?usp=sharing]]> 2022-09-29 19:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320025916 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320026387 https://padlet.com/JessicaLander/vsqv5dk0z2b7xl9]]> 2022-09-29 19:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320026387 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320026851 https://padlet.com/JessicaLander/ags1l7qy1nmk5und]]> 2022-09-29 19:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320026851 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320027422 https://www.jessicalander.com/making-americans]]> 2022-09-29 19:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320027422 karinintercambio https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320028490 https://twitter.com/jessica_lander]]> 2022-09-29 19:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2320028490 karinlynnbates https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2837100289 2024-01-02 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/karinintercambio/6cvy5bd334t04hdu/wish/2837100289
