For example, if you are practicing the /ae/ sound (like in “cat,” “hat,” etc…, you could read the following script. “Yesterday, my cat ate a plastic toy and swallowed it fast.” Whenever students hear this sound for the first time (cat), they should stand. When they hear it again (plastic), sit down. This is beneficial for ELL because something as simple as developing recognition of a sound may be harder for them as they are not native speakers, so spending time on really listening for these sounds will help in all domains. This also encourages movement in the classroom which I believe to always be better than requiring children to sit in a desk all day.]]> 2022-08-08 20:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/6tg2nqrpurt9vd3w/wish/2256916091 xiaofeng19514 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/6tg2nqrpurt9vd3w/wish/2256916099 This activity, as shown in the video below, is a great way for students to get up and moving. Hula Hoops are placed on the ground with numbers in them in sequential order from 1-20 (or any group of numbers that you want your students to review). Then the students are asked to jump in the hoops, like hop scotch, in the correct number order. This scaffolding activity, like the others in the video below can be altered and created based on the students learning level. By creating differentiated groups, you can cater a more individualized learning experience for your students to be successful.

Learning logs are a great tool to use as a formative assessment for ELLs. Students can document their learning process throughout a lesson and then write a reflection once the lesson is completed. This gives them not only practice with writing in English, but also mastering the concepts they are learning by representing them creatively visually through sketches and developing metacognition as they write and think about the learning they are doing as they are doing it. Its a great assessment at the end of a lesson to see what the students took from it as well as at the end of the year for teachers, parents, and students to look back on what the student learned as well as how their writing and thought processes have developed throughout the year!]]> 2022-08-08 20:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/6tg2nqrpurt9vd3w/wish/2256916132 ans38114 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/6tg2nqrpurt9vd3w/wish/2359355689 Numbering the lines and sectioning the text into smaller portions so students do not feel overwhelmed with large amounts of text.

- Teachers can put students in small groups or pairs to talk with one another.

It also allows students to fully understand what is expected of them for their reading assignments, so there is no confusion.

This scaffolding strategy helps students with their writing skills as they use their prior knowledge to come up with information. If they need to write something down that they do not know how to write in English, they can write it in their native language. This strategy is also good because there is not a right or wrong answer. It builds their confidence in their answering abilities. They can write about a personal experience, an idea they had, a question, etc. as long as it stays on topic for the Quick Write. After completing the Quick Write, the teacher can choose whether or not to have the students share in pairs or as a class.

It helps them gain confidence in their ability to speak while using visual cues. A lot of students are visual learners, so by incorporating physical objects as a scaffolding strategy will help the child remember words in English better.

Some examples of whole class signal responses are students providing a thumbs up/down when asked a question, using a whiteboard as a form of personal response, or even holding up different colored cards that each represent different things.

As the video linked above explains, the student will tell a story about themselves, and the teacher will write it out. From there, this piece of writing will be used as a part of reading that the students can use. By personalizing the literature in this way, students will feel connected and, furthermore, will see themselves in the curriculum. Another activity that is reminiscent of the Language Experience Approach would be an activity involving each student's family tree/heritage. The teacher could have parents help their children write and learn about their own culture/heritage/background. From there, these writings could be compiled into a book that the students could read together as a class. Not only would this help students with their reading and writing skills, but it would also allow them to learn more about their peers' cultures and backgrounds. ]]> 2022-11-02 20:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/6tg2nqrpurt9vd3w/wish/2367315285 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/6tg2nqrpurt9vd3w/wish/2367369103 This Irish French teacher uses the "I do, You do, We do" method.

When we have our daily meetings it is often an informative preview of what we will be covering in this section and gets us ready to be engaged with the content. In our presentations we normally have videos, that give us a visualization of the material. For our discussion posts, you provide links in our responses giving us different ways to engage with the content. This allows us to expand our knowledge and draw connections while engaging with different materials. I think using online tutorials could be extremely helpful when working with ELL students, it provides a visual demonstration accompanied by the English language. This could succeed in enhancing listening skills and if the subtitles are on reading skills as well. Technology in the classroom can be used in a variety of ways to scaffold students' learning; from enhancing the four domains, helping with lesson planning, and providing quick feedback on formative assessments.

They explain that “formative assessment data should inform instruction by helping teachers make decisions about the what, the how, and the why behind their instruction.” Making use of “such data will allow teachers to determine students’ strengths and weaknesses in both content knowledge and language development, making it easier to grade students separately in each area.” This short but explanatory video, Examples of scaffolding for ELLs, reiterates the beliefs of Freeman, Ghiso, and Hamayan. She explains how formative assessment reveals the strengths and weaknesses of students allowing teachers to create plans on how to assess students and more importantly how to assess individual achievement of students. Which makes it easier to grade students separately in each area, providing a more equitable classroom and allowing every student a chance at being a successful student. This will allow ELL students an “opportunity to show what they know with the language tools they have.” I think quick weekly online quizzes would help assess knowledge levels. You can check for understanding by encouraging students to rate their understanding on their fingers from 1-5. Assessment tools can be extremely helpful in guiding lesson planning.

For example: prompting the writer with the bank and saying use 4 signal words to tell a story.
