The first unit, we worked on learning these sentence combining structures. At the end of the unit, students are now using them to write a summary paragraph to scaffold their ability to summarize. https://t.co/Pws7WetnnI

I'm exploring using the sentence-combining approach to teach complex sentence structure with a subordinating conjunction. https://t.co/dgmFX2PydT

Trying this sentence combining approach to teach students to write a Cause-Effect sentence starting with Because/ Since / Due to. Will let you know how it goes. https://t.co/w2V4I5rnYp

I HAVE to get better at teaching my MLs to organize their paragraphs in an essay. I created this sorting activity for them to sort the sequence of their essay. https://t.co/WMqI4uwb2b

Look at all the ways we can use a sentence-patterning chart for newcomers (inspired by the one and only @KatieToppel. - simple sentence structure - verb phrases - incorporating details from content https://t.co/D0PMuA7NlX

RT @ColorinColorado: Our newest #ELL strategy is all about using "wait time" and features a fantastic infographic from @ValentinaESL, with…

I'm using this structure to teach complex sentences. - bold is my prompt - Ss write separate sentences - then put them together with ",and" https://t.co/9kV0sjj7dH

- Instead of assigning writing, co-write w/ MLs (we do) - Then put them in pairs to co-write (you & a partner) - Then have them write independently (you do alone) https://t.co/0TL7zgOzXv

Dr. Ruslana Westerlund shares how we can apprentice MLs to writing. She turns principles into classroom-ready practice! https://t.co/P1u2agMzIO https://t.co/lu9n8hSgJn

Day 4 of co-teaching. Saw an opportunity to translanguage while reading. https://t.co/AvqbqvGzAP

I'm working on creating vocb tasks connected to our 1st unit (discrimination). 1 of the words is "remain". I asked Gemini AI this question. Now I'll use the sentences to draft questions. My first one is "What do you hope remains the same about our school in 100 years" https://t.co/nQdtJHgXbp

RT @AndreaHonigsfel: It's coming in September!! Our book about collaborative assessment is now on the Corwin website!

I'm trying something new: - putting subordinating conjunction words Ss have already learned together - Then let them pick which one to use and finish the intentionally sparse paragraph frame https://t.co/VealHVXLdy

IT WORKED! - I taught Ss transition words to make their sentences complex - Now I'm using the same words to teach sentence-sentence transitions This photo is of the writing task to process the chapter. The second one is the unedited paragraph an ML produced. https://t.co/hhDThMNIhX

Trying to teach sentence-sentence transitions, a complex sentence, & appositives with this structure. - We'll read 1 chapter - Ss work together to complete the paragraph stem. This will be the most complex series of sentences they have written this year. https://t.co/Jq3MPIc421

We've been practicing complex sentence structures all year. Now we work on writing sentence-sentence transitions.. https://t.co/dnSi5vMQ43

When MLs interact w/ each other to learn, they shift from just learning the rules of a language to USING the language to communicate.
