For a good variety of years, I made the horrible mistake of not periodically reviewing previously-covered content material with my ELL Newcomers.
There was a lot I felt we needed to get by that we simply blasted by my thematic schedule.
Ultimately, although, I noticed that I used to be actually critical about college students studying English, I wanted to construct in common critiques – “one-and-done” was not going to chop it.
So, now, we undergo three of these themes after which at all times do every week of easy overview.
I don’t assume what we do is any nice shakes, however this appears to work:
- I am going to LiveWorksheets and print out two-or-three completely different…worksheets on every of the earlier three themes. There are sufficient copies for each college students and their peer tutors.
- On every of the primary three days of the week, peer tutors overview a special thematic set of vocabulary sheets with their college students. They take a look at them utilizing mini-whiteboards and pictures, and on Wednesday tutors problem their college students to make use of the phrases from all three themes in unique sentences.
- On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, college students choose at the least one of many themes to create their very own model of the Image Phrase Inductive Mannequin. Now that Google Jamboard is useless, they use Google Drawings to search out a picture off the net associated to one of many themes, use at the least ten phrases to label them, after which write at the least 5 sentences concerning the image utilizing a few of these phrases. College students then share their drawings “speed-dating” model.
- Additionally, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, college students are given copies of the Increasing Sentences sheets we used on these models and have to finish them once more.
- On the finish of every class interval, we play a sport of Blooket that I created utilizing Khanmigo’s AI utilizing the thematic phrases.
- Any further time college students have is used reviewing flashcard units on these models that I created on Quizizz.
- On Thursdays, peer tutors overview all of the phrases with college students after which give them a apply take a look at.
- On Friday, college students take a take a look at.
- Throughout this week, we additionally proceed performing some actions not particularly associated to overview, together with dialog and grammar apply.
Once more, not unique by any means, nevertheless it appears to work. Let me know you probably have concepts on how I can enhance it!
