ELA – Grades 11&12 - Unit 4 - ELL Scaffold
Review Unit assessment for suggested texts, vocabulary, and skills which will be evaluated this unit. In all instances, activate and/or build background knowledge, key vocabulary and critical language structures connected to the actual tasks, activities and texts that students will need to be successful and emphasize these points throughout the lessons. Moreover, ELLs may need additional processing time when responding to questions. It is important for ELLs to have an opportunity to practice the academic language prior to answering in front of the whole group, so Turn and Talk, Think/Pair/Share and Small group activities are effective strategies that build academic language. Furthermore, ELLs benefit from consistently using dictionaries (picture, bilingual, English, personal) across all levels of proficiency.

Review Unit assessment for suggested texts, vocabulary, and skills which will be evaluated this unit. In all instances, activate and/or build background knowledge, key vocabulary and critical language structures connected to the actual tasks, activities and texts that students will need to be successful and emphasize these points throughout the lessons. Moreover, ELLs may need additional processing time when responding to questions. It is important for ELLs to have an opportunity to practice the academic language prior to answering in front of the whole group, so Turn and Talk, Think/Pair/Share and Small group activities are effective strategies that build academic language. Furthermore, ELLs benefit from consistently using dictionaries (picture, bilingual, English, personal) across all levels of proficiency.
