ELL Differentiation
Content – The students will learn through verbal instruction, written instructions, several teacher led demonstrations that includes images, written definitions and links to present day and several student led demonstrations that also include images, definitions, and links to present day. ELs will also have access to all materials in both English and Spanish. Vocabulary is emphasized on Day 3 to help students understand the difference between cultural assimilation and maintenance of cultures. On Day 1 in the math lesson, the teacher uses an informal formative assessment to determine how much students know and design content from this level.
Process – The opportunity to choose a learning method from several options (both in terms of population group, art selection and debate group) and the requirement to be responsible for the achievement of the group members will encourage the students to listen, speak and check for understanding with peers in their group. Each group will be designed so that any struggling ELs have competent ELs or bilingual students within their group.
Product – Students will benefit from working within a group setting that takes their EL status into account. Students will be motivated by the members of their group to succeed since group members will include friends vying to succeed in the culminating debate against the rest of the class. Teacher will provide monitoring aimed at ELs to ensure each student gets a task they are suited to and have ample opportunity for clarification before completing the assignment
