feedback is so crucial. Ss are always questioning themselves. Want to make sure they understand L2 + content #ellchat

I agree with modeling. I also think it is imperative to inspire them to make connections to their own lang & culture #ellchat

A4 This is a tough one - Ss need guidance, but if they’re working toward tchr's finished product - not really higher order thinking #ELLCHAT

Model finished product expectations... I can go on guys! #ELLCHAT

  REALLY good modeling! Model expectations. Model metacogntive thinking... #ellchat

Exactly. It closes a loop so they know they’ve completed a task and feel successful! :) #ellchat

A2) I think this is important. Using the words such as compare, contrast leads to a level of thinking. #ELLCHAT

educ8orSmith Mar 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

#ellchat Q2 while Bloom's verbs are a start, it is not the verbs that determine the level of thinking but the task.

it's not really "tchrs finished product" but how the thinking process gets them there. Also models lang #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Mar 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Agree. I've observed lessons in K-1 where tchrs were teaching synthesizing information but Ss couldn't express what they knew. #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Mar 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4 Young ELLs/DLLs may be able to synthesize info or processes, but have hard time expressing it so they get underestimated #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Mar 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Q5). What are some obstacles you encounter when teaching higher level thinking skills with ELLs? #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Mar 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5: @KarenNemethEdM & others mentioned difficulty of verbally communicating about thinking. Provide alt ways of showing thinking #ellchat

carlota_holder Mar 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@KarenNemethEdM #ellchat example of thinking process then model of written response. Anchor chart is referred to while thinking aloud/model

ByrneLearning1 Mar 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5 academic & content vocabulary not there yet #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Mar 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5 Helping ELLs understand you want them to do their own thing - and not try to copy what the tchr is demonstrating #ELLCHAT

MrC_A2 Mar 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5) I need to remember that getting to the HLTS takes time to develop, & that’s OK! Modeling & scaffolding will help us get there! #ellchat

michelleshory Mar 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5 HOTS require a lot more scaffolding with newcomers. #ellchat

carlota_holder Mar 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A5; it's not always about the right answer, but the thinking students are doing. Right answers will come. Takes practice. #ellchat

kimramirez1120 Mar 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A5 Lack of education in the past to make the necessary connections. #ELLCHAT

SharonJKGlenn Mar 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A5) Vocabulary! Interpreter in SpEd conference said no word for autism in Spanish and hard to explain to to parents. Big concept. #ellchat

SraMarconi260 Mar 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

so true!!! #ellchat

In reply to @kimramirez1120

educ8orSmith Mar 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

I would agree! Sentence stems gives ss an opportunity to try on vocabulary while showing off thinking #ellchat

OH! Now I get it! Good strategy. I thought you meant like building a model bridge then the students must duplicate your bridge! #ELLCHAT

A5; I tell my teachers I want to hear them challenging my Ss, not just giving the right answers. With challenge comes mistakes #ellchat

MrC_A2 Mar 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A5 Along w/ the HOT Qs I use, I also need to think about the answers. HOW are Ss answering Qs? Speaking, Writing, Representing? #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Mar 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A4 yes - drawing is pretty much necessary for young ELLs and higher level thinking! #ELLCHAT
