SIOP Day 2 12-6-18
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

I feel like I do a pretty good job of incorporating items from #2. And I am aware that I always need to be cognizant of speaking slower. I would like to incorporate more think alouds. I would like to see what kind of results that would produce, especially with my lower grades babies.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to implement more of these as I plan throughout the year! I hope to add more graphic organizers and conversation prompts as I plan for the literature part of the school year. I also always try to improve upon my grouping configurations in my class because I want all students to work together. EL students benefit when they are able to communicate and interact with native English speakers in multiple types of settings, so I keep trying to think of new ways to make this happen!
ReplyDeleteI have been using sentence frames to help students write and analyze poetry. It has worked well. I have been modeling how to annotate poems as well as larger texts. Both of these have worked well in assisting students to focus attention and complete tasks. I think that I would like to add more intentional grouping configurations and activities that support grouping configurations that encourage more productive discussion. I would like to also work to find successful conversation prompts to go along with the grouping. Maybe I can use some of this next semester in the early part of next year's class to get students talking to each other.
ReplyDeleteI teach K-5 EC and I use lots of paraphrasing, reinforcement of contextual definitions, talking slowly while encouraging students to watch my mouth to not only hear how words are pronounced but also to see how they are pronounced. I also use a great deal of modeling and often assist my students with answering in complete, grammatically correct sentences so that they can better understand and speak English. Using sentence frames, conversation prompts, and graphic organizers is something I could do more of. Currently, I'm working hard to focus on teaching to reflection rather than completion so I really liked having an opportunity to hear about and process effective ways to help my students generate reflective questions on how they can continue to grow and learn.
