A4: According to Wu (2017), the use of intercultural picture books acts not only as a mirror in which students are reflected but also as a window through which they can see other cultural experiences. #ELANightChat NCDPIELATeam @NCDPI_ELs

David & Yvonne Freeman offer book recommendations for the ELL classroom and a rubric that teachers and students can use to determine whether a book is culturally relevant. colorincolorado.org/article/cultur… #ELANightChat NCDPIELATeam @NCDPI_ELs

A1. Hi!! Lisa Llewellyn The interactive bulletin board allows students to add or rearrange items on the wall. As they work to complete assignments, they use academic language while collaborating with peers, solve problems, and develop an expressive vocab. #Together4ELs

A1: Let students create surveys for their family members to answer. They can take many forms & explore various family literacy practices by gathering data on favorite stories, popular cultural interests or engagement with transnational texts. #ELANightChat NCDPIELATeam NCDPI MTSS

A1: Ss create double entry journals to examine a character's emotions. Left: idea from the text; Right: reaction/connection. Ss analyze how these emotions affect the character's relationships and make connections to their own lives. #ELANightChat @DPIWellness NCDPIELATeam

A3: A great book to teach elementary students the value of respecting others by listening and waiting for their turn to speak is "My Mouth is a Volcano" by Julia Cook. Use this book to help teach Speaking and Listening standards. #ELANightChat @DPIWellness NCDPIELATeam

We have a co-worker that is very supportive of us! When any one of us is in a difficult situation, she always says, "You want me to take care of it?" It makes us laugh and reassures us that she has our backs!! NCDPIELATeam #NCELASpirit

Although I am definitely an extrovert, a literary character I relate to is Charlotte in "Charlotte's Web." Practical, loyal, respectful, and a true friend. NCDPIELATeam #NCELASpirit
