The last two months, I have been planning my units of study and making
sure that I meet the needs of all my students. Every year I have a class that
is composed of at least 90% ELLs, hence ensuring that I meet their needs is
essential. Here are a few resources and instructional strategies I have been
incorporating in my lesson plans and overall units of instruction.

your classroom.
Colorín Colorado.org is the
leading national website serving parents and educators of English language
learners (ELLs) in Grades PreK-12.
In this classroom clip, Albuquerque teacher Ali Nava leads her students through an interactive reading of the end of "Burro's Tortillas."
"Persuasion
Across Time and Space" This intermediate unit (7th-8th grade) shows
instructional approaches that are likely to help ELLs meet new standards in
English Language Arts. The lessons address potent literacy goals and build on
students’ background knowledge and linguistic resources. Built around a set of
famous persuasive speeches, the unit supports students in reading a range of
complex texts.
