Call on random students to answer questions and allow them to raise their hand to answer questions. ]]> 2020-07-13 01:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652846491 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652851132 Some ELLs thrive off of visual cues they can relate to. The book I've selected to read has several images I can show to the class. I will also incorporate images into worksheets and classroom discussion time.

Example of Visual Cues to be Displayed in Class During Discussions: ]]> 2020-07-13 01:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652851132 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652853597 In addition to classroom discussion, students will have options to work in a group or pairs to complete worksheets and answer questions. I will assign groups and pair ELL students with strong partners who can help enhance their understanding of the text.  

One assignment will focus on working in a group to act out different chapters of the book. Students will need to work together to analyze chapters and put together a short play. ]]> 2020-07-13 01:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652853597 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652854138 Students will need to work in groups or pairs to complete worksheets after every chapter is read.

If my student struggles with reading comprehension, I will meet with the student to perform a mini-lesson once the chapter has been read. 

During this time, it is also important to work with the student's special-needs resource teacher. I would work to understand what the student needs to succeed. For example, if the student has hearing issues, I will make sure they have a hard copy of the book to follow along with when we're reading as a class. ]]> 2020-07-13 01:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652860049 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652861078 Any student who has special needs may need extra time completing assignments. I will be sure this extra time is given. I will also make sure special-needs students have their own copy of the text to read and analyze on their own, if needed. ]]> 2020-07-13 01:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652861078 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652864999 To assess students in different ways, I will ask them to act out chapters in groups showcasing their understanding of characters, the setting, chapter's plot, and conflict. ]]> 2020-07-13 01:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652864999 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652868261 As an educator, it's important I know and understand my students and their culture. Before introducing the unit, I will look for terms that might have different meanings or understandings in different languages. From there, I will decide if it's necessary to omit words that are not essential to understanding the main topic. ]]> 2020-07-13 01:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652868261 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652871014 If a student is struggling with reading comprehension, they might not understand the questions they're being asked. As an educator, I would work 1:1 with students who are struggling to make sure they know the vocabulary terms and what they mean:

Example of Vocabulary:
Analyze 
Character Traits
Plot
Setting
Conflict
Resolution]]> 2020-07-13 01:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652871014 lkitzman https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652872187 Assign the student another (lower level) book and ask them to read it and develop their own questions when reading.

Sample Questions:
What is the main character like? 
How did I think that happened?
What do I think will happen next?]]> 2020-07-13 01:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lkitzman/rg6l5g4c7qr6j2il/wish/652872187
