#Together4ELs Carrie Horton PBL @NCDPI_ELs Hi, Everybody, Ambar here from Johnston County Public Schools! Rain, rain, go away, Ambar wants to go shopping!

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.

This week!! Join the #Together4ELs team on Thursday at 7 pm ET. Special guests: Kathryn Cole & Erin E Silcox she | her | hers - The team will discuss ways to help English Learners feel safe sharing their stories! Join, learn, and share!!!


#Together4ELs, Kathryn Cole, Erin E Silcox she | her | hers Hello, Everybody, from Johnston County Public Schools! Hi, Awesome Leadership Team!

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
