@mcdittman1 @ELchatFCPS I like this. My 3rd graders are struggling with forming questions. I think this would be a great way to teach and practice this.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@ELchatFCPS I used picture sequencing. My students struggle with chronological order and understanding time lines in non- fiction text. I believe this helped them begin to grasp the concept they were struggling with. Still needs some work for some.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@ELchatFCPS Move on from there to picture sorts and story sequence or order.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@ELchatFCPS I’m going to use a review picture sequencing as my students seem to be struggling with the concept of chronological order. They’ve heard the term, but are truly not sure what it means and how to incorporate it into their content. I started with the definition and will move

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@Lesdoggg @johncardillo Jealous much. He needs to go.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@Annmporter @ELchatFCPS I agree. More open conversation like questioning is better to build understanding, word usage and confidence in language development. They actually want to talk more.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@henle49 @ELchatFCPS I agree. The world moves way too fast and expectations have been raised so high.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@ELchatFCPS I provide small group instruction. I find a lot of open honest conversation time, especially around vocabulary. I feature one content vocabulary word each time we meet. I encourage them to share what they know and open up for questions from other students.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@ELchatFCPS I believe that conversation is very important. I’m glad that this chapter tells how important tsk can be. Less IRE as the chapter calls it makes for better conversational develop in English language learners. In my small groups I try to make conversation ongoing to a point.

[Karen Seivers @bockaby]

@ELchatFCPS I think the one thing that really registered with my thinking was the confirmation that all teachers are teachers of English. Sometimes you feel like you are alone in this endeavor to help these students learn new vocabulary especially in the content areas.

I already introduced myself. I love to see the lightbulb or a ha moment when they truly get a concept or idea.#ELchatFCPS
