They are also aware of the help all around the classroom (anchor chart, sentence stem, etc.).]]> 2017-10-24 14:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200014921 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200014951 My students are acquiring the academic vocabulary.

They were trying to compare two unrelated things so they would automatically be different rather than finding similarities.

We have started using the matrix but many students, especially DL or ESL students, have difficulty with the writing demands of the matrix.

We are working on comparing/contrasting genres. Students are working on finding more evidence in their answers. Also, we are using the compare/contrast academic language to share aloud from the anchor chart! :)]]> 2017-10-24 15:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200051491 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200052908 2017-10-24 15:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200052908 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200183250 I think that the strategic plan is coming along - it is in action! We have incorporated our academic language goal during Daily 5 where we have made a connection between supporting details as forms of examples. This prompts students to say "For example" when they begin sharing their answers. We still need to work on saying "For example" independently, but we are on our way!]]> 2017-10-24 19:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200183250 kreed271 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200183603 2017-10-24 19:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200183603 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200183962 2017-10-24 19:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200183962 katellez https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200184421 2017-10-24 19:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200184421 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200400929 2017-10-25 13:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200400929 https://padlet.com/katellez/GLTs/wish/200400936 The focus words are posted in English and Spanish, and are referred to during class activities.  Students will be using these words in their responses as they explain their responses to class questions and activities.
