SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

● Pair gestures and facial expressions with key vocabulary in the writing prompt. ● Before reading, have children listen to a summary of the selection, available in multiple languages. ● Point out the word banks in the Reading Writing Companion or provide one if not available when students are completing writing or speaking tasks to support their responses. ● For writing tasks, refer to Differentiated Instruction>English Learners>Modeled Writing >Writing Practice. Display the lightning Photo Card, and have children echo read the sample sentence on p. 74 of the Reading/Writing Companion. Guide children to analyze the sentence using the Actor/Action routine: Who is the actor? (I) What is the action? (see lightning) Where? (outside my window) Then read the prompt on p. 75 and ask children to answer it as a group. Review the sentence by writing it on the board and pointing to each word as children choral read. Then ask children to write their own sentence. ● For Newcomers, use the resources in the Resource Library>Newcomers link. Use these during small groups to develop foundational skills and build background knowledge. ● In discussion, model and have students use the sentence frames provided in the Interactive Question-Response Routine to help children understand the story. Also, provide word banks to support their responses. Help partners think of their sentences. ● Go through the Visual Vocabulary cards to build content knowledge using the Defne/Example/Ask routine.
