If necessary, reserve your schoolвЂ™s computer lab for this lesson.

You will need one computer for each pair of students. These pairs should be heterogeneous, although you should consider matching ELL students with classmates who share the same native language so that they may converse in their primary languages when necessary. Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).ДЄssign each student in your class a partner. Students participate as knowledgeable, reflective, creative, and critical members of a variety of literacy communities.ДЎ2. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).ДЎ1.
