Instruction focuses on providing ELLs with opportunities to engage in discipline specific practices which are designed to build conceptual understanding and language competence in tandem.
Instruction leverages ELL’s home language, cultural assets and prior knowledge.
Standards aligned instruction for ELLs is rigorous, grade-level appropriate and provides deliberate and appropriate scaffolds.
Why Blog?Student blogging is not just a short term project, it’s become a forum where students can share their ideas and write for a real purpose.
The beauty of blogging is the revision process becomes seamlessly part of writing. Once you push submit, there is an instantaneous audience. That realization that you will be read, and that your words matter create a sense of urgency and need to clarify and justify the posts.
