ESOL teachers in push-in ESOL programs need to assess the immediate needs of their students in elementary school content classroom. An instrument is introduced and used to demonstrate, and involve the audience, in analyzing videotaped content lessons and developing L2 lessons based on that analysis. This demonstration introduces a number of books that make heavy use of a particular grammatical structure as well as activities that can be used with them. Published authors often comment on how their reading influences their writing. In classrooms where children read and write for authentic purposes, they also comment on how their reading and writing influence each other.
Participants share techniques that work, interactive activities, or brewing controversies.
