The Big Book Of Tasks For English Language Development, Grades K-8 - Lessons And Activities That Invite Learners To Read, Write, Speak, And Listen

by Nancy Akhavan

~~35,53€~~ 31,98€ 10% OFF

 Ready-to-go English Language Development tasks that focus on students "doing the doing" of talking, reading, listening, and responding. In recent years, the percentage of English Language Learners (ELLs) has increased in almost every state, so most teachers are faced with the challenge of teaching literacy to students acquiring English alongside English-speaking students. However, in many integrated learning situations, English Language Development (ELD) instruction is strikingly different than the teaching we provide students whose first language is English. The Big Book of Tasks for English Language Development helps teachers meet that challenge head-on! Bestselling author and esteemed education consultant Nancy Akhavan shows that teaching multilingual learners requires changing our instruction to focus on practices that have high impact for students as they acquire language. Yet its not about doing more its about doing smarter. Its about having high expectations for all students and providing scaffolds to support students at all levels of English language proficiency as they learn and grow more confident. All the ready-to-go activities in the book <ul> <li>Center on active tasks where students do the thinking, talking, reading, and writing, with appropriate support</li> <li>Activate the domains of language listening, speaking, reading, and writing and recognize that these do not develop at the same rate</li> <li>Honor the continuum of language development and build on what students can do</li> <li>Provide teaching tools such as learning targets, suggestions for when to use a task, basic instructions and "teacher talk" for launching a task, and "Watch Fors and Work-Arounds" </li> <li>Focus on the linguistic assets multilingual learners bring to the classroom and provide opportunities to help them collaborate with peers</li> </ul> With Akhavans signature straight-forward, teacher-friendly style, this book offers an uplifting reminder that with the right teaching strategies, educators can support multilingual learners to achieve their full potential and thrive in their learning journeys.

Fighting Fake News - Teaching Students To Identify And Interrogate Information Pollution

by Deborah Appleman, Hugh Kesson, Jeffrey D. Wilhelm e Michael W. Smith

29,15€ + 10% CARD

 Critical thinking and online reading need to go hand in hand-but they often don't. Students click, swipe, and believe because they don't know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that's a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity.No matter what content you teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences so students can: Notice how teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how various reading pathways influence perception Identify the author background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a piece in context Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources, reading laterally, and other critical reading strategies Use "Reader s Rules of Notice" to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the reader Be aware of how for-profit social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than widen our reading landscapeWe are still in the wild west era of the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission: teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will forever have the tools to fight fake news.
