Co-created text & high frequency words. Ss shared their ideas. Using the Ss ideas and my English, we co-wrote a paragraph. We chorally read the paragraph and the Ss identified high frequency words. We can repurpose this text in other lessons #mll #slife #newcomers Dr. Carol Salva

This is a photo of school supplies in my classroom. I projected the photo and students took turns coming to the board to label all of the items in the picture they could. In minutes, the entire photo was written all over!

Hacking literacy! High frequency words make up almost half of everything we read! We read EVERY DAY in my high school #newcomers #ell #slife class. Here’s an example of student work where Ss could see for themselves the high occurrence of these words. ⁦Dr. Carol Salva⁩

The Social Contract. On one of the first days of school, Ss discussed and came to a consensus on what would be included, all based on how we would treat each other. All Ss and I signed it. We read it and refer to it every day! ⁦Dr. Carol Salva⁩ #newcomers #slife #ell

I’ll be there ❣️
I love those sunglasses, too, Dr. Carol Salva 😎
