#Together4ELS A3. To make content more meaningful and engaging for English learners who are in the Spec. Ed: Reread text slowly, stopping to ask? and summarize; let KDZ tell me their needs; use lots of VISUALS, VISUALS, VISUALS! and background info and relevant ?s.

#Together4ELS A4. The obstacles to identify SLIFE students with exceptional learning needs that are especially challenging are their emotional needs & possibly scars, their hopelessness & helplessness, teacher expectations or lack of, and peer pressure! Let’s foster hope!

A1 #Together4ELs Carrie Horton PBL helps EL students by allowing them to participate in the classroom in a formal/informal way so that they use subject-related terms, negotiate meaning with peers, and get to work on a level they are willing to try.

A2 #Together4ELs Carrie Horton Not answering the ?, mind you. Assessment can occur by T observation notes, proof -turning in their part of the project, and filling a survey about the Project. As for demonstrating mastery, ELs can explain, draw, write about the project.

A3 #Together4ELs Carrie Horton I’m planning on having my kinder ELs produce a podcast about a book or story they like so that they WILL need to use all 4 domains to plan and execute their GENIUS!

A4 #Together4ELs Carrie Horton PBL provides an experiential visual for newcomers because they are immediately immersed. Care must be taken to provide support, enough for the Newbies to enjoy the process and challenge, and be proud of their participation in the product.

A1 We look at a map and talk about where we and our families came from. Acknowledging and discussing difficulties, and historical migration opens the door to discussion!  #Together4ELs, Kathryn Cole, Erin E Silcox she | her | hers

A2 We watch part of the An American Tale movie, and Fivel helps anybody open up! I ask students to interview their parents about push and pull factors that led to their migration. I've invited parents, but they hesitate to come. #Together4ELs, Kathryn Cole, Erin E Silcox she | her | hers

A3 Using a short videos of different stories helps widen the discussion and their own horizons! I give a mini lesson of exploration/history of the New World and even the Old World, whenever I can fit it in.  #Together4ELs, Kathryn Cole, Erin E Silcox she | her | hers

A4 Students are willing to share when they see how human, open, and vulnerable their teachers are. At any rate, there's always one kid willing to share their own story! We can go from there! #Together4ELs, Kathryn Cole, Erin E Silcox she | her | hers
