Strategies: Have you tried any of these? How could you add this into your lesson? 1. Verbal: paraphrases, think-alouds, slowing speech, reinforcing contextual definitions 2. Instructional: sentence frames, conversation prompts, Graphic organizers, modeling 3. Procedural; use of grouping configurations that provided different levels of support as they gain greater levels of language proficiency

Think about your last 90 minutes of instruction with your students. Estimate how many minutes your students spent:
• Listening
• Speaking
• Reading
• Writing
What activities did they do to practice and apply these language skills?
What skills were the students measuring for each other?
Considering the information we have just discussed, what would you continue to do the same and what would you try to change?
