ESOL/ESE STRATEGIES
Steps
Step 1:
Choose a rhyming family, such as the “ay” family.
Step 2:
Ask your students to list as many words as they can think of that are in that family.(You can set a time to up the challenge). They will use this family to write a Blues Chorus in the next activity. For example, the ay family: bay, cay, day, Fay, say, hay, Jay, etc. (going through the alphabet. They could also ask Siri or do a google search.)
Rubric/Instrument for Assessment
4 Points(Advanced):
A score of four is a response in which the student demonstrates a thorough understanding of the concepts and/or procedures embodied in the task. The student has responded correctly to the task, used sound procedures, and provided clear and complete explanations and interpretations.
3 Points(Proficient):
A score of three is a response in which the student demonstrates an understanding of the concepts and/or procedures embodied in the task. The students’ response to the task is essentially correct with the procedures used and the explanations and interpretations provided demonstrating an essential but less than thorough understanding. The response may contain minor flaws that reflect in attentive execution of procedures or indications of some misunderstanding of the underlying concepts and/or procedures.
2 Points(Basic):
A score of two indicates that the student has demonstrated only a partial understanding of the concepts and/or procedures embodied in the task. Although the student may have used the correct approach to obtaining a solution or may have provided a correct solution, the students’ work lacks an essential understanding of the underlying concepts.
1 Point(Emerging):
A score of one indicates that the student has demonstrated a very limited understanding of the concepts and/or procedures embodied in the task. The students’ response is incomplete and exhibits many flaws. Although the students’ response has addressed some of the conditions of the task, the student reached an inadequate conclusion and/or provided reasoning that was faulty or in complete. The response exhibits many flaws or may be incomplete.
0 Points:
A score of zero indicates that the student has provided a completely incorrect or non-interpretable response or no response at all.
