Read the Essential Question from My Perspectives to the students. Have them form an opinion and encourage them to justify their response with reasons and examples. Students should focus on using complete sentences and descriptive language. Have students turn to a partner and share their opinions with them. Give each of them time to listen to one another and then respond. This activity can be done with any other questions, stories, or pictures ML students will encounter throughout the week.
Sentence stems can be used to help your multilingual students effectively communicate their ideas:

This strategy can be used with your whole class and during small group instruction. Giving your multilingual students opportunities to speak and share their opinions is a critical part of their language development.
