How language practices are changing by Kelsey https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq Guided inquiry is the main approach to learning and teaching language in the PYP. This approach to teaching is broad and inclusive in that it provides a context within which a wide variety of teaching strategies and styles can be accommodated, provided that they are driven by a spirit of inquiry and a clear sense of purpose. With your partner please review how language practices are changing found on pages 3-4 of the Language Scope and Sequence document. Please post a reflection that answers the following questions: 1. Which "increased emphasis" practice is already happening in your classroom? What factor contributed to the implementation of this practice? 2. Which practice is the most challenging to transition from "decreased emphasis of" to "increased emphasis of"? Why? What makes it challenging and what supports would help? 3. What questions do you have? en-us 2022-07-19 16:08:37 UTC 2025-04-24 07:19:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Language Scope and Sequence kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2246296466 2022-07-19 16:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2246296466 Table 2 kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546781400 2023-04-07 01:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546781400 Table 1 kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546781682 2023-04-07 01:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546781682 PYP in Early Years kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546784523 2023-04-07 01:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546784523 Kelsey kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546816542 1.

Rather incorporate small groups/centers activities.
This allows you to focus on a specific group of students at a time. You can focus on helping them with things they struggle with. ]]> 2023-04-07 02:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546823895 Madison & Catherine https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/aeb9v2itt67m7woq/wish/2546826439 1. Weekly spellings changed into weekly writing words used in writing practises

2. Student choice texts. Going to Grade 4 in term 3 and asking them what books they want to read so that there is interest. Other books not picked can be brought into the class library.

3. Writing only as a product changed to, how to write something and why it is important (how they can use it in real life)
