There are many modes to build literacy. I quite like the one where students must unjumble the words and put them in the correct order to create a sentence in the target language. I usually do this exercise after explaining a grammar pill, such as word order or noun agreement]]> 2022-06-22 00:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227250847 https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227251043 Have kids sit in a sharing circle and present their latest work to each other, the goal is to use and practice lots of art vocab as they describe what they have done.

This trains their critical thinking as well as literacy skills to read and write. Not too overwhelming.]]> 2022-06-22 00:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227252078 https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227252190 I have one dedicated science literacy lesson per week, where I find a website or article for the whole class to go through. I have 3 or 4 questions I introduce first to see if they can answer them, then we, as a class skim read the reading, with me guiding them through how to do this (spotting bold, key words, titles etc), I give them highlighters or coloured pens to highlight key words and phrases, using red for any word they don't understand. After the kids have gone through the reading, I ask for those 'red' words, and as a whole we go through the meaning. They then have to spot the key words that are in the questions and see if they can draw the information out. This can be levelled up or down depending on the year/ability level of your class - but I continually talk through my thought process with the class - they make their own notes.]]> 2022-06-22 00:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227252190 https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227252641 When beginning a new topic, I printed out the key words and definitions out and laminated them (if possible). I handed these out to the students randomly. Their task was to then work together and match up the terms and definitions. We them stuck them to the whiteboard using magnets, and then decided collectively if they were correct, and workshop to find the correct answers. We would then following it up by writing these in, and/or doing a kahoot quiz. ]]> 2022-06-22 00:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227252641 salazarc4 https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227253315 I have been using games such as quizlet, gimkit and blooket to help students with their spelling and writing in Spanish. ]]> 2022-06-22 00:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2227253315 https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2253789125 Telling stories to illustrate mathematical terms/ equations/ formulae]]> 2022-08-03 01:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lateciawilliams/Bookmarks/wish/2253789125
