Jeff and his sixth-grade students move easily from analyzing sentences to freewrites in writer's notebooks to "express-lane edits" of their writing in daily workshops. The lessons, individual conferences, and small-group activities on the video demonstrate how to use high-quality children's and young adult literature as mentor texts and as an alternative to "Daily Oral Language."

Not written for ELLs but may be a helpful resource for teaching mechanics.

This feature along with the clear illustrations will be beneficial to ELLs.

It was not designed for ESL and is often out of context, but the visual support usually promotes understanding, and students can use it to practice a needed skill. It will probably be more fun than a "worksheet". Language Arts jgordon Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:50:48 GMT
