  Case: Moving Ahead
While passing by an open door, you hear Jorge, a 4th grade ELL student, some sentences from a story that he wrote for homework using the week's vocabulary terms. The teacher, Ms. Shoefit, has 24 students in her ELA class and 10 of those students are English learners. How can Ms. Shoefit balance trying to reach the goal of increasing the English of her ELL students while trying to move ahead with her regular students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think when you have a range of students in your classroom, an efficient way to reach all of the students is small group activities. Group the students by what you want to achieve. This will allow you to differentiate the different activities for each group and focus on what that small group of students need. This will give you the opportunity to increase the skills needed by your ELL students and giving you the ability to move on with your regular ed. students.

Comments: the ELL students should not be dis-included form the lesson. For them to successful achieve, the teacher should include all the student. No matter their English level.
