So fun! #ESOL students designed communities & participated in cooperative dialogue, using sentence frames to describe them. Rotating partners allowed opportunities for students to express themselves & practice discussion in small groups. #teacherwin FultonESOL Hembree Springs

I introduced a new strategy to 1st gr. #ESOL Stu’s. Groups of 2 gathered around 1 “placemat.” There was room for each student to brainstorm their ideas re: our unit’s EQ. Then, Stu’s presented to partners. Next, groups of 4 will come to a consensus! Hembree Springs FultonESOL

My sweet #esol 1st graders read a non fiction text & generated checklists to determine living vs. nonliving characteristics. Then, cooperative groups used their checklists to defend their categories and stances. Hembree Springs FultonESOL #esl #teachersoftwitter

Students participated in a Conga line after becoming experts about living vs. non-living things. Line #1 was the “speaking” line, line #2 was the “listening” line. It’s a great way to #differentiate & get kids moving & speaking! Hembree Springs FultonESOL #SIOPinFCS SIOP International
