"For E.L.L. students, I want to work hard to prepare them for what they need. Kahoot! is one of the resources I use to get students to interact with the material. This activity is a fun way for students to learn, we can have immediate feedback, and there is a little fun in the process."

Individual interaction is key. I will work to engage as many students as I can on a daily basis. Checking back in on a regular basis is also important.

Make sure that you document all this information. There is nothing worse than forgeting a student over a few weeks, when they need specific instruction individually.

For English Language learners, I want to prepare carefully to support literacy. I will try to speak slowly, clearly, and try to add pictures and body gestures to make it easier for them to understand. In the classroom, I will hang posters for the timetable and directions. I will also encourage them to ask questions if they do not understand something.
