Everything ESL
I found this website http://www.everythingesl.net/ which is dedicated to teachers working with ELL in their classroom from grade levels k-12. It offers many useful resources for working with and teaching ELL. The site has everything from classroom tips, lesson plan modifications, discussion boards, and activities. Although we may never find ourselves working with ELL in our classrooms we must always be prepared to teach them which is why I feel this website is worth taking a look at. I have learned through out this class that although it may be difficult for teachers to find the right teaching strategy that works with each individual ELL it is even more difficult to be the student. Having resources such as all the website we have found and being prepared will be extremely beneficial when put in such atmospheres.

Thank You for recommending this website. After taking a look at it, I feel that it is a very useful resource for teachers to use in their classroom. There is one part of this website that I really thought was useful and stood out to me, Graphic Organizers and for Content Instruction. Graphic Organizers make content area information more accessible to second language learners by converted complex information into manageable chunks. Graphic Organizers, such as webs, Venn diagrams, and charts help students better comprehend complex material. These are visual tools that help ELLs understand and organize information. They are like mind maps which promote active learning. Graphic Organizers can also help students develop higher level thinking skills and promote creativity.
