1. What language supports (scaffolds and strategies) will you provide for any of your
objectives to help your students access the language they need to learn within the
discipline. Why?
o I will provide students with an example on how to record an unfamiliar word into
our student dictionaries. This gives students the information they need to be
successful in making entries to their dictionaries.
o I will model how to restate someone else’s information in my own words. This
will show students how to restate information without saying exactly the same
thing.
