This ranges all the way from scientists in government labs to students exploring concepts in the classroom. We're all scientists partaking in observation and need to be able to communicate ideas to one another. Since scientific concepts can often be tricky and challenging material (though still fun), it is imperative that the speaker be as comfortable as they can be in English. This ensures that they can speak clearly and efficiently while focusing their brainpower on the concepts at hand.]]> 2022-06-04 03:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210709800 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210710423 Personal account from the writer discussing her experience with reading inequity in the classroom.]]> 2022-06-04 03:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210710423 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210711169 Article discussing why Literacy can be exacerbating social injustice if care is not taken by educators.]]> 2022-06-04 03:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210711169 Social Justice and Phonics droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210712226 It is important as educators to be cognizant of any biases that may find their way into the learning environment. Careful attention should be paid to lesson style, student ability, and chosen examples to be sure they have the greatest outreach to all of your students. Even in science, some examples may better serve one group of students over another given their background. As an example, when teaching physics, while every student has most likely had some experience throwing a ball, not all of them have swung a golf club or hit a baseball. While these are similar and both cover projectile motion, students may get caught up on the sport end of it that they don't understand and struggle to branch out from there.]]> 2022-06-04 03:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2210712226 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217961092 Reading Rockets introduction to our topic of Reading Comprehension]]> 2022-06-11 03:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217961092 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217961438 Short video going over some techniques that can be used to help those with poor reading comprehension skills]]> 2022-06-11 03:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217961438 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217962265 Article stressing the importance of using auditory activities in assistance with reading comprehension.

Strategies to assist with making vocabulary palatable can do wonders with making students feel more comfortable reading in the world of science. Multimodal strategies are important, such as flashcards, pictures, read alouds, or games, as these allow a wider range of students to get involved in the learning. Focusing too much on one sense or one avenue of learning risks isolating learners. Doubly so, visual queues and strategies can really help ESOL students adjust to science vocabulary as they are already facing the challenge of learning the more common language surrounding the new vocabulary.]]> 2022-06-11 03:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217969797 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217971195 2022-06-11 04:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217971195 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217971467 2022-06-11 04:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2217971467 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2225175569 2022-06-20 00:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2225175569 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2225213418 Reading Rockets introduction to our topic of Vocabulary

Highlights:

"Educators often consider four types of vocabulary: listening, speaking, reading, and writing."

Indirect vs Direct Vocabulary Learning
~Indirect learning is learning words through "everyday experiences." Three main ways:

They engage daily in oral language
They listen to adults read to them
They read extensively on their own

~Direct learning is learning words through direct classroom instruction. Helpful for more difficult words.

Covers five tips for teaching vocabulary in science:
"1- Students work with vocabulary in meaningful ways
2- Students receive specific instruction on the scientific vocabulary
3- Teachers support students in properly using “tier 2” scientific vocabulary
4- The classroom is full of text options for students to use as needed
5- All classroom communications emphasize use of scientific vocabulary"]]> 2022-06-20 02:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2225268715 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2225329572 Article discussing how to teach Discipline Specific Vocabulary.

Highlights:

"Vocabulary learning should be contextualized."

Three tiers of Vocabulary:
"Tier One: Basic Vocabulary

Words found in everyday speech that rarely need teaching

Tier Two: Academic Vocabulary

High‐frequency words that are found in academic texts across a variety of domains but that are unlikely to occur in everyday speech

Tier Three: Discipline-Specific Vocabulary

Low‐frequency words specific to a particular field of study and often found in informational texts about that subject"

Students will be tasked with parsing many different names, be them species, phenomena, mechanisms, etc. These are tier three words that are necessary to being scientifically literate, but that students will not see outside the realm of science. However, with science issues lately becoming political issues, it is important that students understand these words and their meanings so that they aren't left in the dark when faced with them in the ballot box.]]> 2022-06-20 09:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2225591201 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2242984170 References

This type of study helps us further understand the "critical period" of language development.

Higher complexity can be achieved through speaking and listening (Fisher and Frey).

There is curiosity on if focusing on improving listening comprehension in the classroom will, in turn, raise reading comprehension or if the gap between the two will remain/widen.

Phonology- The sounds of language and ability to decipher what sounds are necessary for the language. For ESL learners, especially older ones, this can be tough as they are thrust into a new language environment without the phonological skills required for that language yet. Thus, slowing their development (Heidrick).

Vocabulary- Understanding the meaning of words and phrases. Where the language learner attaches meaning and understanding to different phonological sounds and combinations of said sounds.

Syntax- Putting words together to form deeper meaning in the form of sentences, paragraphs, etc. This is the next step after vocabulary, where the language learner practices conveying ideas more complex than just words with a singular meaning (Heidrick).

Morphology- Understanding word parts, and what repetitive parts mean. E.g. "ing" meaning being in the act of doing said verb. This understanding doesn't come until the speaker develops a larger vocabulary sufficient enough to begin noticing patterns.

Pragmatics- Social Rules that the learners pick up. How to act in different settings (Heidrick).]]> 2022-07-14 13:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243427370 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243441027 Visual chart depicting the necessary skills that must come together in order for a student to become fluent in the discipline of science. While the subjects are the same as normal reading (background knowledge, vocabulary, etc.), they have specific meanings in science that must be understood in order to navigate the discipline.

Many issues that teachers think are related to phonics and decoding are instead more likely traced all the way back to a foundational issue with phonemes and phonologics, instead (Cole).

Phonological awareness does not involve anything on the page itself. Once readers begin attaching these sounds to symbols or letters on a page, it becomes Phonics (Cole).]]> 2022-07-14 15:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243484615 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243497327 ELL's require extra help with phonemic awareness because many phonemes are not the same as their native language. Older learners, in particular, will benefit from small, focused lessons that cover the phonemes in English that are not present or differ from their native language (WorldofLanguageLearners 2020).]]> 2022-07-14 15:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243497327 Being Inclusive of ELL's and Struggling Readers droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243520897 It is important to remember, especially with respect to high school science, that not everyone is on the same level of reading capabilities. The science discipline is filled with new vocabulary, and pronunciations that at times aren't even derived from English (much is Latin). This can compound struggles for both ELL students and struggling readers.

It can help to assist students with pronunciation and creating classroom habits where students aren't afraid to ask questions. Word Walls (with pronunciations) are one strategy to try and draw focus on this new vocabulary while stressing correct pronunciation (Wolsey & Lapp 2017). Ignoring these differences and treating it as if everyone is on the same reading and speaking level only serves to disservice ELL's and struggling readers, leaving them further behind in every subject, science included.]]> 2022-07-14 16:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243520897 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243648883 Child writing development mirrors their reading development- as they improve in their reading skills they learn that print has meaning and begin their foray into writing (readingrockets).

These being experimental reports (the most common), theses, abstracts, research proposals, literature reviews, and response papers (Williams 2012). This article serves as a quick summation of things to keep in mind when writing in the science discipline, like audience, tone, and narrative voice.

It also covers how writing in this discipline can differ from other disciplines students may be more familiar with, such as omitting transition phrases and overall trying to keep verbiage concise. Lastly, the article discusses figures, graphs, and citations which serve as the backbone of conveying information and findings in this discipline (Williams 2012).]]> 2022-07-14 22:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243654089 droberta1 https://padlet.com/droberta1/Bookmarks/wish/2243661657 Guide to using inclusive language that keeps the identities of students in mind.
