  Case: ESOL in Science
What are your suggestions for helping ESOL students understand the content and vocabulary in science?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would modify science lessons to include a lot of pictures, diagrams, and labels. During ELA small group activities, you could incorporate word sorts that have science content. Repetition also helps, so referring back to vocabulary during science lessons could keep the words fresh in their minds. Try to make science fun and relevant. Include their culture in science lessons that way they may be able to make connections better.
