I used the idea of the Virtual Word Wall from the Ready, Set, Coteach team. This blank template is just a Google Slide with a table.  You can customize the numbers of rows or column, as well as anything else when you make your own copy.  I like consistency for the user experience, in this case, first grade English Learners.  So the colors stay the same and the format is the same each week.While mine focus on supporting our new adoption of HMH Into Reading, a virtual word wall can work in any content area, at any age level.  It could also be in a World Language setting. 

This activity can be implemented with elementary, middle, and high school multilingual learners who are in the Entering-Emerging to Developing and Expanding level of English language proficiency. Play scripts can be printed out–one copy for each student–and each character role highlighted so that students know which character role they will read aloud.

Christine D'Aquanni with Be GLAD® presented strategies at ASCD Annual Conference 2021 in a session called Be GLAD®: Strategies for Creating a Community of Collaborative Learners.  The Narrative Input Chart is one strategy for making content comprehensible, particularly to support English Learners reading to understand sequence of events with key details. These slides were created as just one resource to support a reading of The Water Princess by Susan Verde and Peter H. Reynolds. 

The NC Multilingual Learner Teacher Network 21-23 Leadership Team recorded a series of video clips to inspire and empower all educators. In these videos, viewers will learn teaching strategies to support multilingual learners (MLs). The Network Leaders shared their own experiences and insights. Viewers also have the opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded educators who share their passion for ML education and language development.
