Activity Documents used when Learning the Strategy
These are the documents used throughout the text. You are encouraged to
review them and the videos as many times as necessary.
Implementing the Strategy in Your Classroom
The documents below will remind you of the activities introduced within
this strategy. You are encouraged to print them out and read them. The
Quick View document will provide you with a list of the activities within Language
Scaffolding. Using the Quick View as a guide, match the scenarios
in the activity scenarios with the correct activity. These scenarios
include examples of how you can implement the activities in your classroom.
Extending the Learning throughout your Daily Routine
The documents listed below provide you with additional resources to extend
the principles of Language Scaffolding throughout your daily
routine. The Planning Sheet is a blank template to guide you in Planning
vocabulary activities throughout the week. The Full Page and Half Page
documents assist you in implementing the strategy in your classroom.
It is designed to print and be used as a booklet. The Planning Sheet
is a form that can be used to help you determine how you will extend
new words throughout daily routines.
Half Page Printing Directions: Print out the half page flipchart attached above. There are two boxes printed on one piece of paper. You should cut on the solid line to separate the two boxes. Use one hole punch in the top left corner and fasten all the pages together with a binder ring.
Full Page Printing Directions: Print out the full page flipchart attached above. On the full page version, use a three hole punch on the top of each page to fasten all the pages together with three binder rings.
LET'S REFLECT
What are the advantages of using the Full Page document versus the Half Page document?
What is the purpose of the Quick View?
Would the Language Scaffolding Half Sheet or Language Scaffolding Full Sheet be best for you to use in your classroom?
Now that you have read about Language Scaffolding, we encourage you to choose another instructional strategy, Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction, Dialogic Reading, and Think, Show, Tell, Talk from the Language and Vocabulary folder.
