ELL Students – learn their language…

"The number of ESL students in US public schools has almost tripled over the past decade (Goldenberg, 2006). In 2004, Crawford observed that one-fourth of the school-age students in the United States were from homes where a language other than English was spoken. The school age population (K-12) will reach about 40% ESL in about 20 years (Center for Research on Education, Diversity and Excellence, 2002).

The Frayer Model for Conceptual DevelopmentStep 1: Remind student that the Frayer Model for Conceptual Development will help students collaborate in a safe environment to make meaning of a given concept.Step 2: Place the target in the middle of the chart. Include examples o f the topics that might be included in each category. Have students work in groups or pairs think of examples and non-examples, essential characteristics and non-essential characteristics. Step 3: Students should work together to generate examples.Step 4: As students become familiar with the strategy organize the class into Concept Groups and assign each a different concept within a family of concepts. Step 5: A possible variation of the Model is to leave the concept blank and have students figure out what makes the concept is based on inductive thinking.

Rule 10:Vision trumps

all other senses.

Graphic Organizers are used to arrange information on a page so that the relationships among the concepts are made clear visually. Symbols can be used to show causal relationships contrasted with language that students may or may not understand. Symbols can be words, thoughts, ideas, actions…or in this case 3-D drawing made from chalk.

Readers’ Theater enables students to perform a play that they have created themselves from a non-dramatic text. Materials that students might use include short stories, songs, a scene from a biography or autobiography, or non-fiction material such as social studies or science text. Students could use the Symphony of Science as mentor text to help them create something similar with relevant text.
