In speaking to other ELL students whose home language is different, ELL students, use English but due to the students’ limitations in their English proficiency, they expose each other to more broken English I will value the instructional power of a word wall by frequently utilizing, maintaining, and updating it.All too often, secondary educators miss important opportunities to build the literacy skills of all students. This is especially true in

Chris Street wrote an original research article, “Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned”, and tells us that middle school students face difficulty reading expository texts because they were not taught how to read in this fashion while in elementary school. While in elementary school, they read short novels and chapter books, whereas, in middle school they are expected to read content area text. According to this article, teachers can help their middle school students overcome reading deficiencies by developing a student’s former knowledge on a subject before reading it. Street provides very good strategies on how to engage students with expository text, which consists of: before reading, during reading, and after reading. Before reading strategies include developing

As it says in Item A, a subculture is a group of pupils who share similar values and attitudes. Some subcultures are pro-school, while some are anti-school. An unstructured interview is when the interviewer has freedom to vary the questions they ask. There are a number of strengths and weaknesses of using unstructured interviews to interview children, and they will be examined below. Unstructured interviews allow the interviewer to build rapport with the pupils, unlike questionnaires where there is no chance to build rapport because the researcher has limited contact with the pupils.
The teachers done all kinds of stredegy to engage me on English. As time go by I was not grasping the assignment as quickly as I should have been. Learning how to point out sentence essential and agreements were just another part of English that was getting me prepared for writting skills. After learning several parts of English I started working on establishing a express book to write my thoughts that come to surface in it. Writing in my express book helped me correspond with English in a different way to understand how writing is a way of English taht should be familar.
For example, the most effective method would be, to respect the students and their feelings before they can respect you. Dr. Michaels stated that, “You will gain respect by knowing the emotional, physical, and psychological place of your students. “Show that you care.” This all leads back to students wanting to know that their teacher not only cares about their education but them as an individual. As an after school instructor, I have dealt with many cases where a students didn’t feel like they had to show me respect right off the bat. Which is something that I can understand, because children don’t really comprehend the importance of respect or manners, its something that has to be taught to them.
Although patterns of non-standard dialect seem to become a problem in the way we are told is “correct” English. It is known that children are learning these patterns either at home or from other children. Parents do not seem to mind that their children are not speaking in what is considered to be Standard English, as long as they are able to communicate with them everything should be okay, right? One of the patterns is that of “Black English”. Does this pattern cause problems in the learning process that Standard English is taught in schools today?
BALANCED LITERACY PAPER A balanced literacy program includes aspects of literature-based instruction as well as phonics. Linda Chen and Eugenia Mora-Flores (2006) say that this approach “recognizes the complexities of the act of learning to read and the need to utilize multiple approaches because children learn differently.” There is no one-size-fit all strategy to teach children how to read and write, instead we need to find out the individual needs of each student and give them several strategies to work with. It is our job as educators to provide our children with meaningful opportunities for reading and writing. Before laying out an instruction outline, we need to define our goal. Every year teachers need to
* At GHS (Greenwich High School in Greenwich CT) every classroom has a Smart-board, which is especially useful when integrating technology into daily lessons. * I teach 10th grade American History and 11th grade AP Comparative Government and Politics, so I typically start my Do Now’s with a political cartoon or news clip on the Smart-board that students can observe/watch or analyze prior to the lesson and then make connections between that event and the Essential Question of the unit and day. * You can also write directly onto a Smart-board, which makes it especially useful. 2.) How often are the textbooks / literature used to design your lessons?
