In this class, 10 of the 25 students are English learners. The teacher, Mrs. Beckham, is teaching a lesson with the following objective: Students will compare and contrast a fiction and nonfiction story. What are the different ways Mrs. Beckham could have her students use language to achieve this content objective? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I attended a workshop where students did a frozen image of different parts of a story to help get them inspired to write about the story. This activity could be used in a similar manner to help students compare and contrast the fiction to the nonfiction stories. The visual aspect as well as being involved in creating the scenes with pictures would be helpful to ELL students as they are working towards figuring out the meaning of vocabulary and attempting to compare and contrast in their second language.
