-Used as a closure piece to show students what the outcome of the lesson/activity was for students and teacher

-Give students the chart-Have one on the overhead, smart board, doc camera-Students write the unknown word in the middle-Then fill in the boxes as a whole group

6. True/False questions

SIOP R, W -Partner work for 4 learners-scaffold with sentence frames-Gives them the expectation of what answers should look like in writing/speaking

We (I) believe it is (T/F) because…

-Teacher writes sentence frames on the board-Gives students a problem, situation, statement, question-They then need to determine if it is T/F and why

7. Observation Charts

SIOP R, W -Become familiar with words and pictures-allows them to show what they are thinking without putting their name on it-Can use as a review for later work-See what they learned after the lessons

-Teacher places charts around the room -Teacher gives students 2 colors of sticky notes to write observations on 1 and questions on another color-used for later conversations-Teacher can see questions and misassumptions about topics

8. Pictorial Input SIOP R, W,L -Builds vocabulary-tells students a story with words-gives them a visual

-Teacher lightly traces the picture before doing the lesson-Tell story about the topic while tracing/drawing the picture-Write words that go with the picture

9. Realia SIOP L, S -a real object about the lesson/topic-actual lesson-brings the real item into the classroom instead of a fake one-Builds background knowledge

-Teachers brings in the real item for students to observe by touching, seeing, smelling, listening-Write, draw a picture, speak with partners/class about their observation

10. GIST SIOP R, W -Students can summarize important info. From the reading-Helps the students be able to choose important info.

GIST

Summary: __________________________________

-Have students pick out 10 key words from the article-Discuss the key words with table group-Then create a summary using those key words-1st time doing this create key words and summary together

11. Numbered heads

SIOP R, W, L, S -individual or partners-brainstorm ideas together and share as a class while listening-Hear ideas that other students had that were different then their ideas-There are able to use peers to help come up with ideas

-students stand while listening to words read by peers-check off words as peers share that are the same-students sit down when it is done-Group of 4-Use popsicle sticks with a color and # to call on students to share

12. Small Groups and Partner

Group B W, L, S -Cooperative learning is effective because of opportunities for verbal interactions-Allows them to voice their answer prior to being called upon to respond to a question

-Brings learners together to practice a particular skill or strategy -Steps: pair students, identify & train potential tutors, match students, model the task, provide & support & practice, & share progress

13. Inquiry Chart GLAD L, S -Uses their metacognition-Ways to access their background knowledge by scaffolding-able to share their thoughts and questions without feeling uncomfortable-Engages students by having them walk around the room-Can be done either individually, small group, or whole group-can be used for language use

-Similar to KWL charts-ask them where they got the information-color code the charts for dates, topics, groups-questions asked allow the teacher to focus on language-write exactly what the child says-as a class you will go back later to fix the mistakes-each you go back to process you do it in a different color

14. Comparative Input Chart

GLAD presenter

R, L, S -Allows students to see a visual of the topic along with the words-gives students opportunities to talk afterwards-Shows the language concepts-color cards can used as a way to review language for those at various levels-high level -listening-comprehension-sees language as the teacher is tracing the drawing

-direct instruction time-pre-stretch the chart before teaching it-talk about the same concept on both sides of the chart-info is color coded -give students to talk with partners after each section of the chart-make word cards that are color coded to use as review-1st & 2nd time done is for content-3rd time is done for language

15. Sentence Patterning Chart

GLAD presenter

R, W, L, S -lows the affective filter for students-fun and meaningful-uses students text/language-teaches the parts of speeches-high level vocabulary

-model using a song with the order-let students do it by themselves after having lots of practice with teacher-done as a whole group-start with noun that leads to plural-only do 1 noun-2nd is adjective-3rd is verb in present tense for 1st time-4th is proportional phrase (where)-5th is adverbs that end in ly and well-guide students along using their own words-use color codes to put onto cards to make into a sentence

-teacher always comes up with the topic sentence-every sentence wrote has to do with topic sentence-ask students for permission before tearing up sentence strips-takes multiple days-Team activity: each team comes up with 1 high level academic sentence-team gets a sentence strip and colored marker-done at the end of a unit-come together for review and edit-teacher’s color is always black-At the end type up the sentences to give to all students

17. Graphic Organizer

Group F R, W -Aid comprehension by enabling readers to label aspects of ext to visually illustrate the connections between events & characters-Effective ways to brainstorm, plan, & organize writing-Seeing the structure of text represented visually supports students who have difficultly with comprehension-Helps them work through vocabulary that is unclear

-Most popular graphic organizers are used for reading or comprehension-Common organizer:-Venn diagrams-flow chartsSteps to implement organizers:1 identify the teaching purposes2. explain the purpose3. involve students in constructing a graphic4. discuss the connections5. provide additional practice in using graphic organizers

Group A L, S -Helps students use language fluently. -Help them learn to be creative, imaginative, and resourceful.-Make connections between past experiences & the content currently studied with the vocabulary-Learn new vocabulary

Group A R, L, S -Allows students an opportunity to share their ideas and work with others before sharing in a big group.-Learn vocabulary listening to a peer read-Partner work to have help answering the questions-Learn to use resources

20. Sorting Activities

Group B R, W, L, S -Provides hands-on experiences-Provides students with a way to demonstrate their understanding

-Students sort objects, words, phrases, and sentences-Can be used for all grades and curricular areas-Word walls, word sorts

21. KWL Chart Group E L, S -Helps students organize ideas,-get a sneak preview at what is to come- be able to look back for improvement and new gained knowledge-Group allows them to hear others ideas-Share ideas with peers

K W L -K=know, W=what do you want to know, & L=learn-An introductory strategy to be used with any content-Steps: 1. Teacher posts the chart2. Complete the K column as a class3 Complete the W column4. Complete the L column at the end of the unit

22. Cloze Group E W, L Can be adapted for the specific needs of students & the different language levels-Requires higher thinking skills-They learn to use resources-When done in groups it allows them to discuss their choices & to justify them

A goes through different . First stage is an and then it becomes a . Caterpillar is also called . The third stage is the or . Lastly, it becomes a . This is the of a butterfly.

-Activities are based on written text where some words are left out-Often used to access reading comprehension-Kinds of Close:1. Traditional2. Syntactic3. Semantic4. Graphophonic
