Using Sentence Frames to Jumpstart Writing - Grades 3-5, ELA, ELL

Going through my district's website and looking for more classroom ideas, I run into this great short quick little video on sentence frames. I know I have posted several comments and videos on the subject, but it is truly a great strategy to be shared with anybody that teaches English Language Learners. 

 

To access this video (that is below!), I had to create an account and that only took me a few seconds. There are hundreds of videos on www.teachingchannel.org. Share your favorite!!

 

Questions to Consider while watching this short video:

• Why does Ms. Brewer give students the option of using sentence frames?

• How can you create a sentence frame that encourages varied responses?

• What makes sentence frames an effective strategy for English Language Learners?
