I loved this classroom activity. She described what they had to do and gave examples so that they could understand what she was requiring them to do. She allowed time for them to do the activity and encouraged them as she walked around the room.

I loved this method of teaching. The warm-up question really helped go more into depth about the topic and help the students formulate many questions to engage with each other. Also really loved how the teacher transitioned from english to spanish and used alot of hand movements to engage with the students throughout the lesson. The self evaluation and the presentations was a great way for self reflection and helped build confidence.

I think the teacher carried out some really interesting practices a sfar as attempting to engage ELL in this setting. Starting them out with a simple question, speaking slow, using her hands, and elaborating in Spanish afterwards all seemed to be practices which helped the students. It was interesting to hear some of their responses as far as where they wanted to go and what they planned to do. The fact that many of the students vocalized wanting to help others or even just planning to travel and then work spoke volumes about their culture and seemed, in my opinion, to be a large difference between these student populations and students who have grown up in the American culture. I wonder what other ways we can normalize speaking English for these students.

Allowing students to respond to parts of the sentence with a language they are comfortable with is such a powerful tool. I admire that the teach uses their native language a strength for their work rather than a weakness.

The sentence starters on the board really enabled students to get a head start in sharing their responses and share their responses with the entire class and with partners with more confidence.
