    #5thchat
  • jessrenea15 Nov 8 @ 8:21 PM EST
    sorry if this seems obvious but exactly what do you mean by "instructional dialogue"? #5thchat
    In reply to @briandurgin
  • yankeesgirl4ev Nov 8 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2: Students need instructional dialogue to provide feedback to other students/teachers and communicate needs, thoughts, thinking! #5thchat
  • iteach5m Nov 8 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2; Instr. dialogue provides scaffolding, language & process for students to start making connections & allow learning 2 occur #5thchat

    In reply to @dlcoachbrooke
  • jeremyskura Nov 8 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A2: gives the class a common language. Set the tone by using the vocab correctly #5thchat
  • jessrenea15 Nov 8 @ 8:27 PM EST
    A2: Its helpful to use simple language, unless you are teaching vocab, using language students don't comprehend confuses them #5thchat
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:29 PM EST
    Next question in one minute. #5thchat
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:30 PM EST

    #5thchat
  • Suz_Gibbs Nov 8 @ 8:31 PM EST
    A1. Oh, boy, I wish I could say “yes”, but unfortunately, that would be untrue. #5thchat @briandurgin
    In reply to @briandurgin
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:32 PM EST
    that would be great if you did. #5thchat
    In reply to @Suz_Gibbs

  • PSusice Nov 8 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A1. Gr 3-6 meet weekly, talk about content including language. #5thchat
  • Suz_Gibbs Nov 8 @ 8:33 PM EST
    #5thchat Yes, it would be so much better. Unfortunately, everyone is not on board. @briandurgin
    In reply to @briandurgin

    In reply to @Suz_Gibbs
  • Suz_Gibbs Nov 8 @ 8:35 PM EST
    A3. Purposeful plans to introduce/reinforce language during our dialogue. I do, we do, you do. #5thchat @briandurgin
    In reply to @briandurgin
  • LausanneLearn Nov 8 @ 8:36 PM EST
    A3: Too many variables to answer in a tweet. Level? Goal? Time? Content depth? #5thchat
  • PSusice Nov 8 @ 8:36 PM EST
    played around today in a workshop: student first, then class, then teacher. #5thchat
    In reply to @Suz_Gibbs, @briandurgin
  • dlcoachbrooke Nov 8 @ 8:37 PM EST
    A3: I think you design for learning around concepts and big ideas. Language is a facet of the bigger picture. #5thchat
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:37 PM EST
    What about sentence stems and using in more than one modality. Speak write read repeat and learn it. #5thchat
  • PSusice Nov 8 @ 8:38 PM EST
    I'd like to add movement of some sort. #5thchat
    In reply to @briandurgin
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:38 PM EST
    what about students who don't have the language to explain? How do you scaffold? ELs? #5thchat
    In reply to @dlcoachbrooke
  • jeremyskura Nov 8 @ 8:39 PM EST
    A3: I make sure I can use prior knowledge as much as possible. This helps reinforce what we learned & what we will learn #5thchat

    In reply to @briandurgin
  • jessrenea15 Nov 8 @ 8:43 PM EST
    A4: wasn't that question 3? #5thchat
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:44 PM EST
    relationships are important but you might be the only person using academic language with them.#5thchat
    In reply to @jessrenea15

  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:50 PM EST
    #5thchat
  • jessrenea15 Nov 8 @ 8:50 PM EST
    A4: I don't plan lessons for my job, it's more of just helping students with whatever work they come in with, but that being said #5thchat
  • PSusice Nov 8 @ 8:51 PM EST
    A4: Model, what does it look like, what doesn't it look like, let me catch you using it. #5thchat
  • PSusice Nov 8 @ 8:52 PM EST
    A4: anchor charts, different kinds of visuals, student created visuals. #5thchat
  • briandurgin Nov 8 @ 8:53 PM EST
    but there is certain language they need to access in order to be successful. #5thchat
    In reply to @jessrenea15
  • jessrenea15 Nov 8 @ 8:53 PM EST
    I try to incorporate academic language that pushes them but isn't too far over their head, #5thchat
  • jessrenea15 Nov 8 @ 8:54 PM EST
    & relating their school topics to something fun for them #5thchat
    In reply to @jessrenea15
