History, and all the social studies, requires students to use deep context when explaining complex ideas. Through daily goals and warm-ups, along with assignments that require extended writing, we can naturally fold more strategies for academic language acquisition into our daily practices which will benefit all learners.

I have been so grateful for all the work we have been doing with Academic Language this year.
