5 of my FAVORITE writing strategies for ELLs. What is your favorite?

Character counts! 🙌

Teaching students how to summarize a video by starting with "When..., sentence" structure. This teaches content and academic language at the same time.

Excellent instruction for MLs happens intentionally! Fabulous as always, @ValentinaESL

Thanks for leading a super book study @KatieToppel . Thoughtful questions, excellent discussions, useful teaching ideas. Great way to kick off a new school year!! @SIOPModel #ellchat #mllchat_bkclub

Whether you are just starting out or have been in your role for years, consider how you can collaborate with someone whom you haven't worked with before. Just by asking how they are settling in - you can open a conversation that leads down a path that could surprise you!

Trying to teach students to use the "sentence, so sentence" structure to improve their academic writing. The content for the unit is social media, so we'll write about the impact using ",so".

Important reminder! 🙌

@KatieNovakUDL Learners need equitable opportunities to learn, grow and strive to succeed beyond their expectations.
