#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE hey @AbellaMichele join this group and thanks for the BINGO space! @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE BINGO takeaway..Total Response Signals (p119) for instant showing of knowledge without fear, self-assessment and "doesn't impede the flow instruction"! All for it @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE Hey @DenaDaniel20 join us in #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE @TonyaB_ESOL

#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE #GCS_Newcomers BoostingAchievement BINGO allowing drawing,sketching,sentence or paragraph frames, and extra time in revising needed (bc it's in their enjoyed/meaningful context) @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE BoostingAchievement BINGO repeated Roving Paragraph Frames but added in writings opposed to speaking only. Had students scribe groups' sentences )instead of only me) for choral reading @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers BoostingAchievement BINGO take away...setting tone of low risk regarding output from 1st time meeting student,do not ask them to say anything other than their name and native country (p17) @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SLIFE 9Q3 I replied earlier, I use Readers' Theatre scripts that have differentiated and leveled parts with repetition from RAZ, but I look forward to trying the suggested scripts on p.146 for folk/fairy tales bc they're often familiar in L1 @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SLIFE 8A2 signal words, but NOT just for writing. My students refer to these that I have posted for speaking too. We even use them to identify text features @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE 8A1Used the Roving paragraph frames to discuss food chains, not for writing, but for speaking today. They LOVED the moving, talking and sharing. All the repeated chances to talk were so helpful and encouraging @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

#GCS_Newcomers/SIFE 7Q1 I always allow initial production in L1 independently, partner, small group. Teacher and peers model L2 but elicit nonverbal responses. And allow breaks bc its HARD for them @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

@RoseChilders14 @TanELLclassroom Stressed students don't produce. Especially important to hear their stories in order to empathize and connect. @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

@carygarcia_17 Agreed.And yet, I've seen so many SIFEs met at their new classroom door by teachers with irritated faces. SIFEs have stories and journeys too @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

@karmabak Great work in your Bingo @TonyaB_ESOL

[Jeana Thompson @JeanaThompson14]

@JenniferJurkow5 @MsSalvac @ChristineWare14 Growth mindset is so lacking in so many of my students. Some just don't want or know or feel comfy in even trying to try in their home rooms. I love using picture books for this. Thanks for sharing.🤗 @TonyaB_ESOL
