What are some results if they are retaining the knowledge? ]]> 2022-04-01 13:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125421270 heidireagan https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125421934 Planning Academic Language into a lesson is great in theory. I struggle with building the academic language because I already am teaching to most students a foreign language (aka: math). How can a math teacher incorporate a higher academic language in the secondary math classroom that is not just regular context? I see words like Binomial, Cubes, Parallelograms, Polygons, and so forth to be just the common normal language. ]]> 2022-04-01 13:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125421934 heidireagan https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125423059 "However, do not ban informal communication from the classroom, because this relaxed discourse is critical for social bonding, cooperative learning, literature interpretation, and information processing" (Finley, T., 2014; 8 Strategies for Teaching Academic Language). ]]> 2022-04-01 13:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125423059 heidireagan https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125423490 "Preview and pre-teach vocabulary that will be important for their comprehension of the text, and provide semantic maps."

The reason is because many of my students raise their hand and say "I don't get it". I then respond "What part do you not get/understand?". Usually their response is "Everything". However, this is not true. There are many parts they understand just a portion they are missing. To come up with some sentence frames to help aid their focus could be very beneficial to the classroom and their academic language growth. ]]> 2022-04-01 13:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125424247 heidireagan https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125424505 I like the idea of teaching key words they will see on standardized tests. I do think this is a skill that would benefit them as they grow and will eventually have to take standardized tests. ]]> 2022-04-01 13:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125424505 heidireagan https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125427075 I am curious to see how an educator can understand the starting point of each student's academic language. How can a teacher see where on the vocabulary scale a student lies at the beginning of the year? ]]> 2022-04-01 13:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125427075 heidireagan https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125427427 My school/district is pushing hard academic literacy and comprehension. I would like to better understand the idea of literacy when it comes to a math class. Is literacy just referring to reading and writing or could it be the conversation and vocabulary that will help aid in growing literacy in students?]]> 2022-04-01 13:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/heidireagan/vl46w71l9lt2874c/wish/2125427427
