Will the word significantly impact the text's meaning?

Write the sentence on a sentence strip, read the sentence aloud, cut the sentence apart in places of difficulty (Example: "She was wearing a sweater green" - cut out sweater and green).

Rearrange the words in correct order.

Practice more sentences with the same pattern.]]> 2017-12-01 16:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/212344931 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/212346577 2017-12-01 16:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/212346577 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/212347854 2017-12-01 16:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/212347854 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214854255 When possible, allow students to preview information in their home language. It will help build background. They can also learn key vocabulary during the preview phase.

They will view the information in English during the class lesson.

ELLs will review the material with the teacher. This is when teachers can provide additional instructional supports for ELLs in order to make the information more comprehensible. ]]> 2017-12-10 21:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214854255 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214855003 Use leveled readings thats that all students are able to meet objectives but the tasks don't look different. 

For Level 1 students, have a short text with a graph or other visual to help them understand the text. 

Newsela is a good resource for leveled readings]]> 2017-12-10 21:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214855003 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214856597 When talking to ELL students, especially Level 1 and 2 students, speak clearly, using a normal tone and a slightly slower speed. 
Avoid slang, complex structures, sarcasm, and colloquial language.
Repeat, reword, paraphrase, and summarize as needed. 
Check frequently for understanding by having students repeat or summarize what you have said. Don't rely on yes/no or do you understand?]]> 2017-12-10 21:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214856597 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214856859 Look at the wording of test questions and answers. Modify tests by using simple language. ELLs often know the material but cannot understand what they are really being asked or what the answer choices mean. Questions and answer choices should be concise and easy to read; you don't have to sacrifice the content to modify the questions.]]> 2017-12-10 21:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214856859 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214857478 Rather than correcting students' errors when they are speaking, model the correct way to say it. 
Instead of, "No, it's not I seen a movie this weekend."
Say, "You saw a movie this weekend? I saw a movie this weekend!"
If students are constantly being corrected, they may start to be hesitant to speak. Modeling the correct language, even writing the correct way to say it on the board, helps students to internalize the grammar structure without feeling embarrassed. ]]> 2017-12-10 21:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/214857478 nbnewsom https://padlet.com/nbnewsom/6x76eipqdbxx/wish/399580700 Pathways to Greatness for ELL Newcomers by
