SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION Skill Building ● Use a variety of visuals with captions to de fi ne meaning of words and phrases.

● Use a graphic organizer to differentiate vocabulary, phrases, & images for students to make associations between objects & vocabulary. ● Pair with partners to practice conversation/group students to allow opportunity for them to practice speaking. Before assigning students a conversation, model the conversation, and provide sentence frames or sentence starters. ● Use gestures and oral repetition of key phrases and words in multiple contexts. ● For additional adjective practice, have students change the adjective form from masculine to feminine, from singular to plural form to describe different individuals. ● Provide opportunities for more conversation with fl uent speakers via Zoom or Google Meet. ● Provide more complex text in Spanish for students to read. ● Have students record themselves speaking the language and re fl ect on their progress. ● Students can practice translating from English to Spanish in speech or writing.
