About this resource
Trying to figure out how to help ELL students in your classroom?
This free sample of a sheltered instructional strategy card is great for both ELLs and native English speakers. Sometimes people also refer to these types of strategies as SIOP strategies.
These sheltered strategies can be used in any content area and, with minimal prep (10 minutes or less), can be implemented immediately in your classroom. All of them target academic vocabulary and content acquisition and also incorporate student interaction. They also incorporate sheltered language acquisition strategies to focus on student language development using reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
The strategy included in this free sample resource is:
Give-One-Get-One: An interactive activity that gets students up and moving to collect ideas from their peers.
Organization
These strategies are printed 2 to a page, with simple directions so you can read them and implement them right away. You can print them and use them as they are, or you might prefer to cut them into ½ pages and organize them using a ring to make a flip book, staple them together, or place them in a container to store them. You could print the pages double sided to cut down on printing.
Each strategy card has the following information:
•Strategy Name
•Estimated Prep Time
•Estimated Activity Time
•Why use this strategy?
•How it works
•Or you could...
•Materials needed
Bonus Resource Included
One ready-to-print template to use with Give-One-Get-One

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will articulate their own idea on a topic in writing before sharing it with peers.
Students will collect and record four peers' ideas on the same topic by moving around the classroom and exchanging responses.
Teaching tips
Have students fill in their own idea first, then circulate to trade ideas with classmates, recording each new idea in one of the four "___'s idea" boxes.
Set a topic together as a class before distributing the template, since the topic line is left blank for the teacher or student to fill in.
Since the template has exactly four peer-idea boxes, structure the room so each student can realistically reach four different classmates in the time available.
Skills covered
Idea articulation — writing a personal response to a topic before sharing it.
Peer collaboration — moving through the classroom to exchange and record ideas with four different classmates.
Note-taking under structure — recording each peer's idea in its own labeled box on the template.
Good to know
