Some methods include: graphic organizers, outlines, highlighted text, taped text, margin notes, native language text, native language glossaries and word lists. Information given prior to reading or instruction which help students organize information they come across during instruction. These organizers should activate prior knowledge and help organize new information. Example of advanced organizers: KWL, anticipation guides and guided notes. Prior to instruction, the teacher conducts a conversation between the students about new content. The teacher opens the discussion by having students make inferences about what they are going to learn using prior knowledge, experiences, and limited information know about the new content. A series of question stems from the lowest level of Bloom s to the highest level. These stems provide the students the opportunity to practice language in a classroom discussion about the topic. Groups are assigned to stations in the classroom. Each station has set questions and the students are given a specified time to answer the question. The groups rotate thorough each station until all questions has been answered. This activity encourages student interaction. This is information that is broken-up into smaller units for easier comprehension. Visual and auditory information can be chunked so students can have time to discuss new information, pay attention to details, and create schema for organizing new information. Students will form two lines facing one-an-other. The student share ideas review and ask one another a question. Then one line will move one student over. The new pair will discuss a new but related topic. The activity continues unit there is no other questions. I good number to stop at around 5 questions. Students act out a story the teacher is reading aloud. Each student has a part to play and has to improve the part while the story is being read. Then the students discuss techniques and ideas students used to act out their part. Students for two circles, an inside circle of students facing outside and outer

33 circle facing inside. The students are facing each other. Student then participate in a guide discussion lead by the teachers questions. One circle rotates before another question is asked. Instructional Conversations Interview Grids Justifying/Defending Learning Log Native Language Text Non-Linguistics Representation Number Head Together Pairs View Paragraph Frames Peer Editing Personal Dictionary Personal Spelling Guide Purpose for Listening Radio Talk Show Rehearse/Mimic Phrases Responds Triads Read, Write, Pair, Share Scanning Sentence Stems Structured Conversations Summarization Frames Summary Frames Think Aloud Think-Pair-Share Non-linguistic means the representation of knowledge that includes illustrations, graphic organizers, models, and kinesthetic activities. This type of representation engages learners in the early stages of language development. This strategy allows students, who are seated in small groups, an opportunity to share with the entire class. Each student in each group will be assigned a number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, and 4). The teacher will as an open-ended question and call out a number like 1. All the ones, will answer the question. The teacher can call the numbers in order or randomize. This keep the students engaged anticipating their number to be called. Provide sentence stems for students who are beginner and intermediate proficiency levels. When watching a movie or video, each pair of students have an assigned role. For example, one partner is responsible for listening or important dates and the other for important people. Students choose words from the word wall, wordlist, or words from content instruction. The words are recorded on index cards or journal with a drawing, refection, and/or native language definition of the word. The index cards or journal becomes their personal dictionary. Students are given a prompt or idea to listen for while being read to or watching a video. Incomplete sentences that provide a scaffold to develop specific language structures and facilitates conversations using academic language. A conversation between students in which they are given sentence frames to begin a conversation as well as asked specific questions and sentence stems for elaboration. This allows teachers to scaffold and model metacognitive thinking by verbalizing the thought process. This encourages student-to-student interaction. Ask a question and provide

Then have the students partner up, and then have them compare their answers. Finally, have the students share what their partner said. Vary the types of questions based on the level of language development. For example, beginners you would ask yes/no, either/or and questions that requires a one word answer. There are different types of responses or stems the students to choose from based on their level of language proficiency. Apply gestures and movement to make the content comprehensible Illustrations, graphic organizers, manipulative, models, and real world objects are used to make content comprehensible. A way of getting input from all the students during a class discussion. To begin, the teacher poses an open-ended question. They students to write a bulleted list in response to the question. The students then stands up, the teacher will call on a student one at a time. If a student has the same response on their list, they cross it off. The teacher continues to call on students for responses and the students continue to cross of similar answer. When all the answers have been crossed off the student sits down. The activity is over when everyone is seated.

37 WORDO! 9 SquareVersion WORDO: To play WORDO! every player gets a board. This WORDO! board has nine boxes, 3 x 3. Depending on what your focus is spelling words, sight words, letters, numbers, family names, whatever each person chooses nine words from a set of flash cards to write in the boxes. A different word goes in each box. Then, just like BINGO, someone flips the cards, and when a word is chosen that s on your board, you cover it up. We play that a full board wins. And the first person to fill his or her board yelled, WORDO! as loud as he or she could. Sometimes you can mix it up, and here s how: Use M & M s for our markers (leave this one!) Write with rainbow colors on their board Choose each other s words/ letters Flip for each other Use stickers as markers... Other plans are to: Introduce upper emergent word cards Throw in an early fluency word cards or intermediate fluency word cards Review spelling words pull from preciously taught word, vocabulary, etc. Use number cards to learn number word spellings Use content vocabulary to study word meanings

40 WORDO Materials: Blank "Wordo " Game boards (1 per student) Copy of words being studied Duplicate enough of the WORDO game boards so that each student can have their own. Distribute one to each student. Have students fill in their cards with words from the word wall that they are working on. Tell them that each card must be different and to try to mix up the words they are using. Playing the game is similar to BINGO. The teacher calls out the definition of the words and has the students say the matching word out loud and then mark or cover their spaces. The first child to mark or cover an entire row calls out the word "WORDO"! The winner can call out the words the next time and/or may receive a treat or a reward. example of WORDO game board
