Each week we will share one strategy that you can use to meet the needs of your diverse multilingual learners in secondary content classes. This week’s strategy is specifically for secondary science teachers but could be adapted for use in many content areas.
Language Objective: I can discuss what I’ve learned using academic words related to this unit.
LT: I can construct an explanation based on evidence about natural selection.
At the end of a unit about evolution, have students gather evidence that natural selection is a primary cause of evolution. Put students in two circles and have the inside circle discuss their evidence. The outside circle may generate questions or challenge their peers’ arguments. Students can also discuss causes of natural selection to review. Provide a list of vocabulary words from the unit that students should use in the discussion.
