I would have my students utilize the video recording website FlipGrid. This activity also helps the students reading domain and listening because they first will read a book, then for speaking record their video giving a mini book review, next they will listen to their peers videos.

The teacher starts by giving the class a sentence to start their story.  The first student writes the sentence starter, and then when the teacher yells "FREEZE" the student passes the paper to the person next to them. That students can add a new sentence to keep the story going. The process continues until a story is written.

This means that you provide the student with the beginning of the sentence and they fill in the rest. Examples are "I think that the effect of this was ____" or " I noticed that ___". Providing students with these helps to guide their sentence and provides some framework for what they should be writing about. ]]> 2020-11-01 22:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/880591974 Emily Brown - Conversation cards XiaoFeng https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/880594189 Each student gets a card with a conversation starter and they get a couple minutes to think of an answer to the question and write it down.

The teacher provides a fill-in-the-blank notes template for the lecture and has the students fill in their notes based on words that are emphasized. This allows ELs to focus on the important concepts rather than trying to remember everything the teacher said.]]> 2020-11-02 13:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/882222705 Shelby Rhinehart sar05659 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/884210203 This source gives several ways you can use post-it notes in order to help students improve their reading skills.

This technique is highly structured.  The teacher would give the student sentences with blank spots. Students would be able to fill in the blank spots with whatever they like as long as the sentence will make sense.
For example: 
The __ went to __  __.
A __ has __ sides.
A __ is larger/smaller than a __.

For ELLs this helps them be able to grasp new concepts easier and faster, rather than being more confused because they do not know the words related to the new concepts. A creative way to front load vocabulary is giving students exposure to them in real life. For example, when learning about different rocks the teacher could bring in different types of rocks, such as Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks. This helps the students make a permanent connection between the word and its meaning.

One example of this might be when introducing new vocabulary words, provide a list of them in the room with corresponding pictures. Another great way to do this is by labeling objects in the classroom in both English and the student's home language. ]]> 2020-11-03 13:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/886174399 Elizabeth Allen-Circle Chat era58141 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/886392069 The teacher divides the class in two even groups and has the first group form a circle where students are all facing outwards. The second group then forms a circle around the first one, and makes sure each student is standing across from a student from the first circle. Each pair is given a few minutes to talk, ask questions, and discuss, and then the outer circle all take a step to the left and chat with a new classmate. I like this idea because students get to talk with many classmates, but only for a few minutes each. This could be a great way to brainstorm ideas for a project or talk about a reading since students would learn lots of different perspectives from each other.

This is a great way for teachers to intertwine their reading and speaking scaffolding strategies. The teachers first model the Think Aloud process and then talk about the habits of a good reader (reading ahead to clarify, seeing context clues...etc.). The teacher should give the students questions such as "Do I understand what I have just read?", "What new information did I learn?" in order to guide their learning and help support ELL students in not only understanding the content that is in front of them but also gaining vocabulary that helps them ask questions about their readings and a space for them to vocalize these questions.]]> 2020-11-03 15:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/886670610 Chloe Mazurek- Silly Sentence Maker Game chloe92 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/886845547 Sentence making games are a good way for students to understand the format of writing a sentence. This activity in particular includes baggies filled with subjects, objects, verbs, and adverbs that students will draw from to create a sentence in the correct order. The students can expand on this activity by drawing pictures and writing a complete sentence or story to go along with the slips of paper they choose. This is also something that students engage with where they can be goofy and create a silly story, and they might not even realize that they are learning!

Teachers can play an audiobook and ask questions relating to the dialogue (preferably in the order the answers occur in the book) and when the student hears the correct answer they toss their ball (one from a sheet of paper) into the corresponding basket with the correct answer. For example, for an audiobook with different people you could have the baskets represent the characters and ask who's birthday it is and then they would shoot the ball into the corresponding basket.

I feel this is an amazing way for students to learn vocabulary words, grammar, etc. This allows students to write out the words and add pictures. Students can be creative with their work, while also learning their site words. It will keep students engaged too.

Frames provide structure so that language learners can begin to produce sentences on their own. The blanks can be in the beginning, middle, or end of sentences, and the goal for the Els is to use their prior knowledge to fill in the blank/blanks to finish the sentence.

First, the teacher explains the assignment and shows and example, next the students do it with her, then the students complete it on their own and share. This is a great strategy because it not only uses all of the domains but it also allows for students to get more comfortable in all of the domains. EL's need as much practice as they can get and when the assignment is demonstrated to them a couple times before they have to do it on their own, this will allow them to feel more comfortable when completing the assignment. The website below gives a little more detail about the activity and how it can benefit students. I really enjoy this activity because an EL student can get comfortable listening to the teacher, interacting with their peers, and speaking in English.

This allows students to be introduced to vocabulary in forms other than direct text. Allows teachers to introduce vocabulary a bit at a time so students do not get bogged down and can focus on a few at a time. This will help immensely with long and complicated text.]]> 2020-11-05 01:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/892388897 Entry and Exit Slips - Taylor Holliday tmh21793 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/892406923 Minutes at the beginning and end of class are great times to find out what children know.

It is geared towards ESL students, but I think they can be used in the classroom with both ESL students and non ESL students. It allows students to work on reading comprehension in different ways aside from just reading and then answering questions. ]]> 2020-11-05 03:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/892562543 Ashley Cintron- Pre-teach academic language ashleycintron05 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/892593061 by pre-teaching academic language, you make the reading more understandable for students. since this is a new language for students they may not know what context the word is being used in so by teaching it to them beforehand it makes the reading go a lot smoother for them. ]]> 2020-11-05 03:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/892593061 Lindsey George, Ashley Cintron, Mallory Hovart https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894743062 Student-Teacher conference to recount learning. by doing individual conferences students are more likely to open up about what they are struggling with and why.]]> 2020-11-05 16:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894743062 Mackenzie Pearson, Jenna Cooley, Katelyn Stephens https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894745683 Our group would like to have a Gallery Walk for our students.

It also is a way for students to look back at their work and see their growth and have it all easily organized in one place. It also is easily accessible for all students regardless of their comfort levels when speaking in class and participating in group discussions. ]]> 2020-11-05 16:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894749594 Madeline Whitehead, Megan Campbell, Jenna Wages, Carmen Smith madelinewhitehead1 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894751838 Put a die at each desk. At the end of class, each student rolls and briefly answers aloud a question based on the number rolled:

1. I want to remember …
2. Something I learned today
3. One word to sum up what I learned
4.Something I already knew
5. I’m still confused about …
6. An “aha” moment that I had today

Requiring students to fill out a KWL chart at the end of the day to asses
 1.) What they know
2.) What they want to know 
and 
3.) What they learned 
is a great way to assess the student's positive and negative understandings throughout the day.

Have them explain what is going on in the picture and who is in the picture so that over the course of the school year you can see the students descriptions get more in depth.]]> 2020-11-05 16:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894790407 Katelyn Stephens kms02014 https://padlet.com/XiaoFeng/zbez9gfe394canc2/wish/894805572 I will scaffold my students' writing skills by working with them to create a rubric for a writing assignment. I will hear their ideas and we will implement them into the rubric we create. I will then use that rubric to grade their writing assignment.
