Directive labels may help them to know key information to look for as well.

Frames help students convey a message in a clear way, until they feel comfortable enough to structure writing on their own. ]]> 2021-03-11 00:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295704373 Using Visual Aids: Caroline Reedy crr23921 https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295738678 Using visual aids, such as Key Word Charts, images on slides, picture-books, or time-lines, ELLs will be able to draw connections between what they see and what they hear. The use of visual aids is a great scaffolding technique for listening because it supplements any missing vocabulary or listening gaps a student might have. ]]> 2021-03-11 00:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295738678 Turn and Talk: Caroline Reedy crr23921 https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295764180 "Turn and Talk" is a speaking scaffold in which students will discuss a topic (usually a question posed by the teacher at the start or end of a class) with a partner. This is a great scaffold for speaking because it allows casual, peer learning to occur; in a less formal setting, ELLs can build their confidence speaking in the classroom. ]]> 2021-03-11 00:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295764180 Caroline Reedy crr23921 https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295813508 This school closely monitors their regular assessments to guide the formative assessments they conduct throughout the lessons their teachers give. ]]> 2021-03-11 01:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295813508 TPR: Caroline Reedy crr23921 https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1295836200 Total Physical Response is a scaffold for ELLs that encourages students to engage multiple modes of learning.

Concept maps allow the students to organize the information they have read in a visual format. Concept maps also do not have one solid format so the student can organize the information in a way that best makes sense for them.

It can be frustrating for a student trying to listen to a teacher's instructions or question to have other students should out an answer before they can think. "Wait Time" is implemented so that each student knows that they should wait for the teacher to finish speaking before moving to either answer the question or follow the instructions given. ]]> 2021-03-15 00:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1308466404 Vocabulary Development: Andrea Souza https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1311299682 This article explains how teachers can help their EL students with their vocabulary. ]]> 2021-03-15 15:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1311299682 Assessment of English Learners: Jaylyn Matthews jaylynrene00 https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1311673531 This article provides a lot of information about assessing English learners.

It is important to give the students a framework. Many students are overwhelmed by the thought of starting an essay. If they are given a framework where they can just fill it in with their information, that takes away a lot of the stress!  ]]> 2021-03-16 02:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1313537835 Scaffolding Ideas: Show and Tell - Megan Hackett meganhackett27 https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1313717653 Using show and tell as a scaffolding idea allows students to use a visual, as well as using their hearing.

An example of  a helpful scaffold a teacher can use in a classroom is  Skim and scan the text before the reading. This will engage the students before the book is read because we know children love pictures. It also gives them a bit of a preview so the book doesn't seem so overwhelming being thrown at them all at once. This is a powerpoint on how to skim and scan a book. ]]> 2021-03-16 04:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1313808730 Formative Assessment: Terrisianna Taylor terrisiannataylor https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1345992240 This infographic doesn't specify whether it can be used for ELLs, but I think it can be used for ELLs too. ]]> 2021-03-24 02:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1345992240 Student Self Reflection: Two Stars and a Wish - Devon Altman https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1349159369 A tool that can be used for formative assessments with both EL students and native English students is self reflection. Self reflection can be formatted in many different ways from journaling to talking to a partner. The activity called Two Stars and a Wish has the students reflect on their work from the day and write down 2 things they did well and 1 thing they wish to improve on going forward. Then, the students would be able to share this with a partner and vocalize their reflections. This would be very beneficial for both EL students as well as native English speakers because we can all benefit from self reflection and the teacher can get a better grasp of what their students are thinking.]]> 2021-03-24 17:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1349159369 Student Self Reflection: Two Stars and a Wish - Devon Altman https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1349175638 A tool that can be utilized for formative assessments is self reflection for both EL students and native English speakers. Although self reflection can be done in many different formats, I thought the Two Stars and a Wish was a beneficial format because it allows the students to write down 2 things they did well in class today and 1 wish for improvement in the future. The students could then share their reflections with a partner. This is beneficial for both ELs and native English speakers because it allows them to write out and verbalize their thinking while also giving the teacher a chance to learn more about what their students are thinking about their progress in school.]]> 2021-03-24 17:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1349175638 Week Ten Idea: Erika Daniel erikadaniel https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1359291455 "Formative Assessments for English Language Learners" by Sarah Ottow:

This simple chart asks students to share how they are feeling about the learning.  It has pictures that could be used or the student could tell you how they are feeling. It might be best to talk in small groups bout how the students are feeling, to avoid embarrassment to the students. This might help the teacher know how to pair students up during group work or partner work. Have a student who understands works with someone who hasn't quite mastered it yet.

Ottow also recommends keeping writing samples in the portfolio of the students to track more specific progress. She also stated that making goals with students using "sophisticated academic language" can be very beneficial to ELL students. ]]> 2021-03-29 03:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1362713311 Olivia DiNapoli https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1509343612 I think this formative assessment would be beneficial for not only EL's, but every student in the class. It would be a fun way to show how they feel about the previous lesson. The green card would mean they felt good about the lesson, the yellow card mean't they felt okay, and the red card would mean they completely don't understand. If an EL learner feels uncomfortable holding up a yellow or green card, they can always give them to the teacher in private and ask questions one on one. ]]> 2021-05-10 14:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mkford21/nyq2xbiwouisjlx9/wish/1509343612
