Listening – actively teach strategies

*What you don’t hear is as important as what you do hear.

*Avoid being impulsive. Listen for LINKED vocabulary.

*Listen for multiple clues. *Words like “no” and “but” signal opposite

information. (But beware of “Why not?”) *Separate the FLUFF from the STUFF!

Provide examples for each strategy taught!

What do you eliminate?

Reading

Provide meaningful practice Practice the way students will be assessed Connect reading to visuals and/or actions

whenever possible Vary the input!

Reading

No tienes sentido ~ Si no estás conmigoDesde que te fuiste ya no soy el mismo me siento vacío

Yo no puedo ya vivir ~ Si tu no estas aquíMe siento triste porque tú te fuiste y ahora no quiero vivir en soledadHoy me propongo dejar las penas y bailar

Wepa!Baila baila Si tienes dudas

Baila baila A tu maneraBaila baila Si tienes miedoBaila baila En hora Buena

Baila Baila Ennio Emmanuel

Los Meses del Año

En enero hace frío ~ En febrero también

En marzo hace viento ~ En abril está bienEn mayo hay las flores ~ En junio el amor

En julio las vacaciones ~ En agosto el calorEn septiembre hay neblina ~ En octubre el tronarnoviembre trae lluvia ~ y diciembre el nevar

Actively teach strategies: FOCUS - read question and answer choices READ selection - underline vocabulary that

pertains to the four answer choices. (Translate?)

Identify the words LINKED to underlined words

Look for multiple clues; related vocabularyTeach how to eliminate multiple choice nothing is written about an answer choice words are not linked to match answer choices

Practice the way you will assess

Small to big

Establish expectations (“non-negotiables”) Capitalization Punctuation Subject/verb Providing details

Writing

Ask a series of written questions on a single theme (to be compiled later)

Teach students to restate questions in their answers

Use peer editing – on simple warm-ups, homework, major writing assignments

Have students use their written responses to questions to create a paragraph or short essay.

Use Q & A to organize information

Health task Write two sentences that tell how you feel Write two sentences that tell what hurts Write three sentences about what you will

do (see a doctor, take medicine, stay at home, and so on)

Write one sentence that answers “when?” (when you will go to the doctor, when you will return to school, when you have to take medicine, and so on)

Use English prompts

UseGraphicOrganizersFor Pre-writing

Use visual promptsWhere are you?

Who is with you?

Why are you there?

What’s the weather like?

What can you do here?

What geographical features are there?

Do you like this place?Why or why not?
