Last year I used colored paper to make word menus to sit on students' desks so they could serve up synonyms on demand. This year, I have more students, nearly 200, all of them English Language Learners, so I'm upping my game with more tools.
A stand-alone printing and laminating station will allow me to create customized word-working tools to help students celebrate their success and take on new challenges. Colorful, super-sized stickies will be resources in student notebooks, including self-assessment checklists for writing, reading and generating ideas. Colored paper will become snazzy signs to spur colorful, academic conversations about books, writing and current events.
