Highlights From The Third Week Of The #MLLChat_BkClub Online Chat About Our New Book

 

You can see previous highlights here.

We must recognize that in order for S to own language, T supports and scaffolds must lead them. Vygotsky’s ZPD is not in stasis. Providing Intermediate and Long-Term Learners instructional prompts moves that zone. Equity is found in purpose & structure #MLLChat_BkClub #ESLSg pic.twitter.com/U18jyN6hj6

When looking at descriptors of proficiency levels we know that the intermediate level is a wide-gorge that is easy to fall into and *can be* difficult to cross, especially if supports are just arm-floaties @Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp #MLLChat_BkClub #ESLSg pic.twitter.com/BrZVlDjHWf

A week late but better late than never. I really enjoyed this section. Several of the ideas I have used or heard of but I gained some new ideas to implement with my Newcomer class and my ELD groups. @Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp @KatieToppel #MLLChat_BkClub 6.0 #ESLSg pic.twitter.com/hOHhqnZ76S

@KatieToppel, I just love this LEARN acronym for thinking through our book study chapters! I’m a little late w Part II but it was worth it as I took the cake last week and read all of Part II. I’m so ready to implement a lot of this w Ts I support. #MLLChat_BkClub #ESLsg #ELLs pic.twitter.com/CIFdxo9n9d

Taking Ss to the #library is one of the best ways to promote literacy & keep engagement levels high. Loved collaborating w/@dknavisK @rosileeza71 & many other librarians over the years who worked w/Ts to support #ELs #MLLs. #MLLChat_BkClub 6.0 #ESLsg @Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp pic.twitter.com/5YKZGXlc4g

Afraid using mentor texts encourages students to just copy the work of others? The research says otherwise. All students benefit from strong samples of writing to follow and analysis of what works & why. #MLLChat_BkClub 6.0 #ESLsg @Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp #MLL #ELL #WritersCraft pic.twitter.com/sIOnZVZnZ6

#MLLChat_BkClub friends- what are your gems from part 3?! Can’t wait to see what you’ve LEARNed! Not sure if I’ll be able to take the cake this week, but I know even if I read a little, I’ll find some treasures in #ESLsg pic.twitter.com/1KOWLGfyRv

#BookTalks are an engaging way for Ss to interact w/reading & can be done in-person or pre-recorded @Flipgrid. Recorded talks allow peers to view Ss in another class. 👀👂🏼Great opportunity for speaking practice either way. 🗣 #MLLChat_BkClub 6.0 #ESLsg @Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp pic.twitter.com/I7MGB0szV1

Not only does Think Aloud foster comprehension & engagement, but it also adds vulnerability & authenticity to the teaching-learning process. If done effectively, it may lower the affective filter & build the student-teacher relationship.@Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp #MLLChat_BkClub pic.twitter.com/aZDmVO6XKe
