I check for understanding and try to engage my ELL students to actively participate in the lesson. When they are done, I then ask each group to share their fact sheets and for the rest of the class to fill out the Navajo Culture handout on the board from what they learn from their classmates. When each group has presented their fact sheets, I instruct the students to fill out the other part of the Culture handout with their own culture. We then put those answers on the board. I instruct the students to put away their worksheets until tomorrow and project cloze sentences with the new vocabulary.
4) Magnifying glass to observe tracks closely. 5) Chalks to draw around the tracks already studied. 6) Caps for all children. 7) Reference books which can be used as a guide. B) Introduction of project: I would ask students if they have ever observed the feet of animals/birds?
The middle school students increased their abilities to locate main ideas when challenged with exercises in the lesson cycle. The lesson cycle was effective because it gave students practice with text structures, signal words, and graphic organizers (Montelongo, Herter, Ansaldo, & Hatter, 2010). The students also confirmed their comprehension through the correct rewriting of the given text. The authors conclude the study by acknowledging that further study is needed in order to evaluate the quality of expository writing and its effectiveness on comprehension. They further recognize that this study was limited to the specific use of main idea placement in either the first or last

The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development. The curriculum provides pupils a solid foundation in all aspects of numeracy and a Key feature of developing skills in numeracy is for pupils to understand its purpose and be able to not only learn but also apply it to real life situation which is why it is important to establish mathematical skills at a early stage. In reception classes Teachers follow through a Foundation Stage Curriculum which includes problem solving, reasoning and Numeracy for pupils 40-60+ months old. In Key stage 1, numeracy skills are developed practically in shape, pattern, counting, sorting and measuring. Teachers plan activities in order to help the pupils develop mathematical skills through exploring, playing games.
Alternative #2: Spelling Based Instruction, on pages 234 and 235, is an approach that focuses on each child individual level of knowledge. It is a good way to figure out where each child is in the process of learning to read, write, and spell; and then build upon in successfully. The text suggests an informal assessment by placing the children in the class into groups and have them write something. This observe what level they are on. Based on what level they are on, then move them into a group of children that are at the same level.

In a study, eighteen second graders were challenged to complete a Power Point project about an animal. Sixteen out of the eighteen students remembered more facts about the animal after completing the presentation, rather than not using any form of technology (Benefits). These results show that technology indeed helps students remember what they learn. Another positive reason to have
