My students need a color printer with ink, paper, and extension cords, so that I can provide colored visuals of key vocabulary words and content concepts. I had the great opportunity of attending a Be Glad training this summer. In this training I learned a plethora of strategies to help my students acquire language for any content area (science, social studies, math, etc.). One of the most important components was the need to provide colorful visuals. Students will view, describe and explain pictures. The colored pictures will be used to support the Be Glad strategies which allow the students to analyze the new material.
This will allow them to engage and retain the new information and not only raise their oral production, but reading and writing skills as well!
