As regular readers know, an online book chat about our new book has been happening….
Two weeks ago, I shared Highlights From First Two Weeks Of The Online Book Chat About Our New ELL Book.
Now, here are highlights from the final two weeks:
Strategy 34) Encourage Development of Home Language: While writing a Mother's Day activity, many student's wanted to write in Spanish for their moms. We used a translator with a speaker feature. The students were so excited! #Ellchat_bkclub 11.0 #ELLteacherstoolbox@TanyaFranca2 pic.twitter.com/vcUCHc3Gm4

Nine box grid is a great #ELLTeachersToolbox strategy to #gamify vocabulary instruction and practice. Kids asked to play several more times after our first round. 👏🏼👏🏼 #ELLchat_Bkclub pic.twitter.com/3hwhdF6LRq

Strategy 31: Listening 1st skill to develop in language & literacy. Taking time to practice on front end yields greater benefits for future instruction. Also check out academic conversations by Jeff Zwiers. #Ellchat_BkClub #ELLTeachersToolbox @TanyaFranca2 pic.twitter.com/kjS1hz4C6D

Start the year by writing a letter to Ss to tell them about yourself… then ask them to write back. ❤️ Great idea from strategy 41 chapter! #ELLTeachersToolbox #Ellchat_BkClub pic.twitter.com/icil4AH1jS

After reading through this book chat my favorite thing about this book is the wealth of resources& how to apply. But most of all I love the troubleshooting of what could go wrong. @TanyaFranca2 @Larryferlazzo. @KHullSyp #Ellchat_BkClub 11.0 #ellteacherstoolbox

“Our school wanted to get as many #ELLs as possible to enroll because their presence challenged our Ts to improve their craft”. Only if more schools held this belief! #ellchat_bkclub #esl #ell #eld #esol #tesol #education #ela @Larryferlazzo pic.twitter.com/reoXpbtIfT

Nine-Box Grid w/ partners: This strategy by @Toppel_ELD can be adapted for older #ELLs to teach content vocab or concepts. #ellchat_bkclub #esl #ell #eld #esol #tesol #education #ela @Larryferlazzo pic.twitter.com/1oyUTZNcPs

Rhythm, songs, and poetry are beneficial for ALL students. Using music and dance provides the opportunity students to make kinesthetic connections to content . @Larryferlazzo #ellchat_bkclub #ellchat pic.twitter.com/TdgOSHhUXk

Love @carlota_holder’s dos and don’ts for #coteaching. The example about different bathroom expectations is a great reminder that we need to be flexible and discuss our classroom rules/styles/expectations in advance. #Ellchat_BkClub #ELLTeachersToolbox pic.twitter.com/HAQuGNHQch

My fav ch. = Diff. in Mainstream Classes b/c of the detailed do's & don'ts list. I only wish I had this earlier to help me with/ my newcomers! Glad to have the tech resources for next year tho. #Ellchat_BkClub 11.0 #Ellteacherstoolbox @TanyaFranca2

We wouldn't TALK at Ss for the whole period, so we shouldn't PLAY videos AT Ss the whole period either. Break longer videos into shorter clips & allow Ss to with w/ partners to discuss the video, segment by segment. #ellchat_bkclub #esl #ell #eld #esol #tesol #education #ela pic.twitter.com/nOjMGeOAlU

Many Youtube videos come with translated subtitles. It’s a great tool that helps #ELLs learn content & be part of the class. #ellchat_bkclub #esl #ell #eld #esol #tesol #education #ela @Larryferlazzo pic.twitter.com/JjLoXYxLwq

An interesting strategy that can be adapted for science & history classes. Great for critical thinking. #ellchat_bkclub #esl #ell #eld #esol #tesol #education #ela @Larryferlazzo pic.twitter.com/txaccwpRyx

#Ellchat_BkClub #ELLTeachersToolbox SO important not to assume. #ells usually can understand so much more than they can express verbally, that is why letting students use drawings or even responding in their L1 is so useful. pic.twitter.com/5ozX0lzXRc

This strategy 18 reminds me of my student's morning work. We have journaling notebooks and the student come in and write about whatever they want. This helps them to enjoy writing and they love sharing them with me! #Ellchat_BkClub 11.0 #ellteacherstoolbox @TanyaFranca2 pic.twitter.com/g5MiU93luB

If we can do only 1 thing when working w/ #ELLs, it would be: Look at your ss through the lens of assets, and not deficits. PREACH! #ellchat_bkclub #esl #ell #eld #esol #tesol #education #ela @Larryferlazzo pic.twitter.com/jhOxXb57da

Str. 34- Differentiation: My favorite! It reminds us that st. accomm. shouldn't stop w/ELA! Anxiety sets in when a st. knows little Engl., but imagine the students' feelings… P337 to differentiate in every class. #Ellchat_BkClub #ellteacherstoolkit11.0 @TanyaFranca2 pic.twitter.com/TPhjGT9JrS

Love these ideas for conversation practice in chapter 25 of #ELLTeacherstoolbox! Ss will have a lot of fun coming up with dialogues to go with our weekly vocabulary! 🔑point is providing time for #ELs to practice and get comfortable before performing. #Ellchat_BkClub pic.twitter.com/fGsJln4aPL
