Collaborative Teaching: Are Two Teachers Better Than One? Reprinted from Essential Teacher, Volume 4, Issue 3,September 2007, Alexandria, VA: Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) “The city is more crowded. We would need more signs and traffic lights,” said one student. "We would have to live in apartments,” said another. The class was brainstorming how living in the city compared with living in the country. In a collaborative or co-teaching setting, the ESL teacher “pushes into” the general education classroom to collaborate with the teacher. Co-teachers are using the same physical space. Over the past few years co-teaching has become more popular as low incidence school districts search for ways to best serve the needs of their English language learners. Compare the co-teaching experience that I had with Ms.P with that of another ESL teacher in New Jersey. Paulo is a “push in ESL teacher” in a large school district. This is collaborative teaching at its worse. Teach and write. ESL teachers, however, cite many concerns.

Bitstrips for Schools Teaching Language Arts With Legos: Part 2 | Milk and Cookies Last week, I mentioned that there were so many ways to use Legos to teach languages arts, that I needed to divide the activities into 2 posts. Welcome to part 2! Copywork If you click the image above, you’ll be able to download a small copywork booklet with famous quotes pertaining to creativity, imagination, ingenuity, playtime and the inner child. Parts of Speech The blocks above represent the 8 parts of speech. Next, we created stickers for all the words within the Lego copywork printable. Sorting those words is an excellent way to practice categorizing by word type and part of speech. Diagramming For students who are learning diagramming, you can lay out the words on a white board and have them outline the diagram. Join me for a 10 day series about using Legos in your homeschool, April 16-20 and 23-27.
