  • I use Spiegelman’s succinct definitions for key comics terms: panel, balloon, border, gutter, bleed, and chapter opener. For example, the term bleed, which refers to text and illustrations that run to the edge of a page, prompts an excellent discussion on the pun in Spiegelman’s subtitle for the first volume of MAUS: My Father Bleeds History.
  • The most effective way of guiding students toward insights on the visuals in graphic novels is to allow them to brainstorm out loud about the details on one page.
  • Often, merely cataloging details encourages students to analyze more deeply.

  • A way to get students to study this technique is to give them two excerpts from a graphic piece, one with the words removed (so that students look only at the visuals) and the other containing only the text (students can then compare differences in the way they read it).

Using Technology to Help ESL Students - 0 views

  • Another benefit of using computers for reading instruction is that the computer offers immediate feedback on performance. They also can provide added practice when necessary. 
  • Computer based reading instruction also allows for "increased interaction with texts, attention to individual needs, and increased independence through an ability to read texts they would not otherwise be able to read" (Case & Truscott, 1999).
  • Computers can also help ELL students develop their writing skills. Lewis (1997) recommends that composition for beginning learners should be a guided activity so students do not become frustrated.  Writing paragraphs in a language that is still somewhat unfamiliar to students can be difficult. When using a computer, however, the use of graphics can make this much more enjoyable. Using clip art can also help students to convey their thoughts more clearly.

  • One thing I’ve found helpful to do at the beginning of term is to create one document for each student with their name on it and then ask them to put any writing they do onto that. This saves a lot of hassle constantly creating and sharing Docs and makes them a lot easier to locate on Google Drive. It also has the added advantage that students and teachers can easily look back and see what feedback they got on previous writings and incorporate that into their new one.
  • do writing during a lesson and monitor their writing as they are doing it and provide ongoing comments to help guide them.
  • Another common classroom procedure that Google Docs can enhance is error correction. During the lesson, if you notice that students are making particular speaking or writing errors, you can collect them on a Google Doc and then share them with the group either at the end of the lesson or for homework. I would set the sharing settings so that students could only comment on the mistakes rather than edit them, and then they could work in pairs/groups to make suggestions in the margins as to what the correct answer is.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • A variation on the typical reading comprehension exercise is to copy and paste the text or article into a Google Doc and then set questions in the margins for students to respond to. These can be traditional comprehension/true or false questions  or questions about the language in the text. Responding to these questions can be set up as a jigsaw activity so only certain groups or individuals answer certain questions. Alternatively, everyone answers all questions and the responses can be seen stacked on top of each other down the margin.

      Nice for intro or conclusion
  • Through the use of cellular devices, Wi-Fi and iPads, people have their social-networking sites at their fingertips. 
  • SecuraChild is a AMBER alert system powered by social networks. When a child is missing, parents can, for free, enter the website and report the child missing. Followers of SecuraChild through subscription, Facebook, or Twitter will immediately be notified of the missing child. 
  • “We can put content-rich info out there in a matter of seconds so people can really find someone.
