New beginnings!

Our learning topic is effectively using technology to differentiate learning.

1)  What are we going to do over the next week that contributes to our PLC learning topic?
      I need to find a way to differentiate my formative assessment for my ESL learners.  I made a graphic organizer using inspiration and had them write key words in each box to help them formulate their ideas before they started writing.  I used some pictures to help show what I was looking for.  Does anyone have any other ideas?

2)  How does this contribute to student learning?
     I hope that getting them to organize their thoughts first will help them to write more fluently.
      
3)  How will the impact of this week’s work be measured?
     I have a grading rubric for this assignment.  Comparing the grades for ESL learners and non-ESL learners can help me measure if the organizers produced better results than what I have seen in this assignment in the past.
