7 Sheltered Strategies for both ELLs & Native English Speakers V2

A comprehensive resource that expands teaching strategies to increase student responses while implementing sheltered instruction for both English Language Learners (ELLs) and native English speakers. This tool provides seven unique, engaging strategies that are not only easy to implement but also require minimal preparation time of 10 minutes or less.

The targeted areas within these strategies are academic vocabulary and content acquisition, promoting rich student interaction. The use of sheltered language acquisition techniques ensures effective learning through important mediums: reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Included Activities:

• Mind Reader:An interactive game where hints lead students to guess mystery words;
• Silent Conversation:A tranquil yet potent activity encouraging written interaction with academic content;
• Backwards Quiz:Juxtaposing the conventional quiz format by giving solutions first and prompting students to formulate questions.

This resource allows peer editing practices using a method called 'Feedback Teams' in which pair-based activities help students master the art of providing as well as receiving feedback.
