(This article assumes a PBL approach to learning.)
2) Provide a safe space for risk-taking: don't be too worried about grammatical errors for ELLs in the idea stage of a project.
3) Have some scaffolding in place e.g. language stems, introducing students to evaluating/giving feedback, refining ideas and presenting a final product.]]> 2017-08-14 17:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958151 collaboration https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958460 Collaboration skills need to be taught explicitly. ELs may need scaffolding in how to begin and end a conversation, respond to prompts, and formulate questions. ]]> 2017-08-14 17:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958460 Critical Thinking https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958491 Are your questions HOT!?!? Higher Order Thinking requires students to use facts and data to solve problems. Use sentences stems and frames to help students answer questions.  "By scaffolding questions and beginning with prompts that include point to, sketch, locate and trace, even students with limited language skills can demonstrate critical thinking skills ."]]> 2017-08-14 17:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958491 Communication https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958672 A resource like Verso allows students to respond anonymously while the teacher can see who posted what. It removes hierarchy of classroom while giving a voice to shy/ quiet kids!]]> 2017-08-14 17:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958672 Critical Thinking https://padlet.com/cfarrellU/a8a52dfpfmdq/wish/180958764 Uses knowledge, facts & data to solve problems...students do not need to speak any specific language to think critically but need help to articulate it
