Great grouping strategy, wondering about foursomes that our students can identify with…
Replying to @PhilEchols
This is more creative than saying, “Ok, sit with a new group!” It's a great way for ppl to see themselves & feel considered in your planning. It's generationally & culturally inclusive. ▪️Tip - Use a mix of 4-somes that ppl may or may not know for dialogue & perspective (4/5).

Students in Mrs. Ouimette’s class discuss and reflect in the meaning of being part of a global community. Great discussions and insights from students. #weareglobal, #21languageservices, #multilingual

“Rules for Talking” Agreed upon with students. What does Turn and Talk look like in our classroom? #oracy, #conversationmatters #multilingual, #21learns, @21tarkington

Cross linguistic connections begin with acknowledging our “hybrid worlds”. Students reflect on how they navigate different cultures. Great way to introduce contrasting languages and making connections! CCSD21 @ccsd21, @ccsd21london #multilingual

Can newcomers write a #personalnarrative? You bet! Beginners tell their stories by illustrating a graphic novel, including the elements of plot. Then they point at the pictures and search for words to describe what is happening. @FISD_EB @Seidlitz_Ed
