Students can benefit from these situations because they can watch their fellow students go through the work and see what solutions they had. An example is Round Robin where students have a category and go around and name something from that category. ]]> 2021-02-23 04:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229640353 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229641164 Setting basic rules as soon as students enter the classroom so they are aware of what is expected of them. It is important to model behavior and other things for students to fully understand what is expected. It is easy to forget that students might not know the proper procedures, therefore it is important to address them as soon as possible. Student will have a better learning environment to grow in. ]]> 2021-02-23 04:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229641164 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229642072 Manipulatives consist of concrete things that demonstrate the concept being discussed. This strategy might help students obtain a more concrete idea of what the topic is about by seeing objects and not needing to imagine it in their heads. For example, when doing a lesson on clocks a teacher might give students their own clocks to work with throughout the lesson. ]]> 2021-02-23 04:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229642072 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229643574 Vocabulary Role-Play focuses on acting out vocabulary words. Asking students to show portray the word instead of just saying it. The movement of their body can help them remember the word. Giving students this opportunity will help them memorize the word better. For example, if the new vocab word is jumped the student might remember the word better by performing the action of jumping.]]> 2021-02-23 04:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1229643574 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1439291572 Modeled talk focuses on demonstrating verbally and physically what you want the students to do. Modeled talk will help students hear and understand how words should be spoken before trying themselves. I would utilize this strategy in the classroom by reading a book in front of the class. Doing a read aloud can allow students to listen and understand the words correctly. Reading aloud the book then having students read aloud in groups to reinforce. ]]> 2021-04-20 18:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1439291572 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462041988 Learning centers are usually tables or areas where students can participate in hands on activities. Learning centers help students learn new skills that align with their personal needs. It also can teach students how to work together.
For example, there might be a science center where students complete experiments after their teacher shows them how to do them as a class. ]]> 2021-04-27 00:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462041988 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462084433 Graphic Organizers show ideas, text, and even connections you make between texts. They are usually visuals or pictures. Graphic Organizers help students brainstorm new ideas and gather a better understanding of vocabulary by showing the words in a more organized and visual format. Students can benefit from using graphic organizers because they also ensure students are comprehending the information. ]]> 2021-04-27 00:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462084433 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462121675 TPR focuses on a students first language acquisition, Following the natural process that it provides. The students become physical and repeat the teachers movements, but eventually the teacher will stop doing the movements with students and instead return to verbal communication and students will automatically do those movements based off of they way it has been before. This is a helpful way to actually watch students minds at work. You can easily help when students are struggle because you will see it visually. ]]> 2021-04-27 00:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462121675 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462204709 Story reenactment focuses on students acting out a story that they have read or heard. In order to encourage students props can additionally be used to further the student's performance. The purpose of this strategy is to deepen students comprehension. You read students the book the Polar Express and then ask student what prop they think they might need to tell the story on their own. After they decide on props students will retell the story and better understand the content because not only have they retold the story, but they have shown that they comprehended the story deeply enough to retell it with props. ]]> 2021-04-27 01:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462204709 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462424205 Close reading focuses on rereading the text with purpose. The specific purpose is what the author was meaning by the content. Close reading focuses on exactly what the author meant in the text. This helps student understand things as they were meant, not a lose understanding of the text, but a concrete understanding. I would use this in my classroom by having students read a biography together as a class. After each page we would pause for discussion and talk about new vocabulary and words students might not understand.]]> 2021-04-27 02:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462424205 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462473524 Syntax Surgery has to do with showing students the relationship of elements within a sentence, that they might not understand on their own. Students would write a sentence on a piece of paper and then cut the word out that is not correct and figure out what would best go in it's place. This helps students think back a remember the rules of syntax in order to place the correct word and remove the incorrect word. I would start students off in groups of 2 and then move toward students working alone on the answers. ]]> 2021-04-27 02:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462473524 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462513316 Contrastive Analysis is the process of looking at the similarities and differences between languages. This can be used in multiple different ways through books and songs. It can help students understand the difference they might see in different languages or even just different forms of English. I could this by taking a book from ALL and a book from Standard English and compare differences. ]]> 2021-04-27 03:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462513316 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462545039 Interactional Strategies focus making sure students are not misunderstanding the content. The teach guides students and ensures that they are understanding the words being read together as a team rather than the student working on it alone. In the classroom this would work well during individual work time so that the teacher could focus on the students that would best benefit from this strategy. ]]> 2021-04-27 03:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462545039 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462559034 Record of Oral Language across Languages is the process of a teacher telling students a sentence the student will then repeat the sentence and each time the sentences will become more complex. The student might be given the sentence in different languages. This helps the student constantly thinking about new words and different languages. Students will hear the different syntax used. This could be used when a student needs to focus in on an assignment or be brought back into the discussion.

This process helps students work on their comprehension of speech. I would use this in my classroom whenever I had spare time. For instance if they were still a few minutes before lining up for lunch I might stop by a few students and run through this with them. ]]> 2021-04-27 03:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462570375 kenadybratton https://padlet.com/kenadybratton/pbsw3ocggiq51bgh/wish/1462582574 Nash, K.
