I am pretty sure that the title of this post means absolutely nothing to you, but for me it really sums up my early childhood. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was the name of a computer game that my sisters and I played, where you take on the role of a detective to help find criminals who have stolen famous pieces of work. Using clues and geography knowledge, you travel all around the world to locate these thieves. This game was so amazing (believe me, it's true!) that they even created a

For the unit about Ancient Egypt, we learned about traditions and rituals performed by Egyptians. We watch a Youtube video about Ancient Egypt and as a classwork they answered some questions VIDEO QUESTIONS: 1: Where did the ancient Egyptian civilisation thrived ? 2.- How do we know this civilisation existed? Name the geographic feature that reminds us about it. 3.- What was a pharaoh? What were some beliefs the Egyptians had about them? 4.- Why did Egyptians built pyramids? (Purpose) 5.-Describe the belief of “afterlife”. 6.- Define “embalming”. 7.-What organ was the fountain of life? (hint: this organ was not removed from the body) 8.- Describe the sarcophagus. (How did it look like?) 9.- Name of the letters or writing system of ancient Egyptians:__________________ 10.-Name of the paper they invented:_______________ 11.- List some of the gods they had. 12.- List important facts about Egyptians As a "Wrap-up" activity I usually have the students create something. This is, involving art and crafts. This time we made CANOPIC JARS using a Pringles can! Canopic jars were used by the Ancient Egyptians during the mummification process to store and preserve the viscera of their owner for the afterlife. They were commonly either carved from limestone or were made of pottery. MATERIALS: Pringles can newspaper glue and water plastic container ( to mix water with glue ) paint brushes 2 clay bars (brown color) acrylic paint ( gold, silver, red, yellow, blue, brown and black) 1 small foam cup INSTRUCTIONS: Add glue and pour some water to a plastic container ( more glue than water) and mix. Cover the Pringles can with newspaper using the glue mixture. Let it dry. In the meantime, using the clay bars make the shape of the head of the canopic jar. Take the foam cup and cut it in half. The half of the cup that has the bottom part is going to be used as the base of the head. Paste the foam cup and the Pringles can with some masking tape. After you have done this, cover the foam cup with a thin layer of clay and shape the head on top. Cover the head with newspaper and glue mixture and let it dry. Once it is all dry, start painting your Canopic Jar!!!!! These were my class's creations!

AMPLIFYING your ESL instruction is all about increasing comprehensible input for your students. In other words, ELLs learn best when you use instructional strategies that make your teaching (input) as easy to understand as possible (comprehensible). Makes sense, right? Amplification strategies are easy to adapt to whatever content you are teaching, and they are naturally differentiating (meaning students of all language abilities will benefit from their use). AMPLIFICATION STRATEGY: Use realia and hands-on activities Realia is a fancy word for everyday objects. You are using realia whenever you show your students actual objects (rather than an image or explanation of the object). Even something as simple as using real coins during math lessons counts as realia. Research shows us that the more ways we allow students to interact with the material we teach, the better they learn it. Realia and hands-on activities encourage students to participate and interact to the fullest. By handling, manipulating, and observing objects, ELLs are able to use more than just language to help them construct meaning. They are receiving information through interacting with the objects you present, which helps them understand your lesson in a deeper way. We've created a sample Five Senses unit to give you an idea of how easy it is to incorporate realia and hands-on activities into your teaching. Remember, amplification strategies can be added to any lesson to make it more comprehensible for ELLs! Below are a few ideas to get your wheels turning. 1.) Assemble a collection of objects. Have each student pick an object (secretly, if you want to add some drama) to describe using their five senses. They can write their description as a paragraph if they're more advanced students, or in list form if their English skills are intermediate. A true beginner may decide to create a drawing with labels or select from a collection of words you’ve supplied in a word bank. Pre-literate students may give an oral description of their objects. Allowing students to choose how to participate in this activity gives you the opportunity to assess their mastery of the content, regardless of their language abilities. 2.) Read “touch and feel” books. These relatively simple books are wonderful for helping students understand the more subtle variations in texture that we try to describe. They may seem inappropriate for older ELLs, but a more advanced activity could include asking the students to feel the texture and then come up with an appropriate word to describe its feel. Providing a word bank or the first letter of the target word makes this exercise slightly easier. Usborne has a series of books that are great for teaching vocabulary words about the sense of touch. In each of these books, a mouse is searching for something, but each time he thinks he’s found it, he realizes “it’s too (insert vocabulary word here).” The accompanying pictures allow students to feel the texture while hearing the word that describes the feeling. You can find many of the books in this series on amazon.com. 3.) Brainstorm a list of words that describe touch and texture with your students. Then ask them to go out and find objects that illustrate those words. Your class can create a poster of the different vocabulary words and objects they find. If you allow students access to this poster throughout the year, even beginner ELLs will be able to incorporate more advanced vocabulary into their writing. These sensory words are very useful when teaching students to "stretch their writing" in Small Moments units! For added cuteness, young students could trace their hands or even make a handprint using paint. The bottom line: Integrating hands-on experiences whenever possible is an important way to reinforce new concepts and vocabulary for ELLs. It encourages students of all language levels to participate to their abilities and is naturally differentiating. Not to mention, it motivates students, helps them stay focused (especially those kinesthetic learners), and encourages interaction with peers. Did you find this post helpful?
