"Hello. My name is _____" and the CCRS

Help for Teachers Who Want to Implement the CCRS

with ESL Beginning Level Students!

I stumbled on this wonderful document entitled "Reasoning and Rigor in the Beginning ESL/ESOL Classroom" and wanted to share! So many teachers wonder how they can get their ESL students (especially at the beginning level) on-board with the CCRS. This document offers many ideas, activities and resources on how you can do just that with the beginning ESL/ESOL level. In this document you will find great classroom strategies for early production to higher-level thinking questions, questions and prompts to elicit different levels of thinking for beginning level learners, sources for images, videos, how to layer  texts, how to teach academic vocabulary (the rigor in the register), problem solving scenarios, task-based learning, and numerous helpful links to explore!

If you use any of these activities or resources, please share your feedback with us! :)
