Learning Target: Let’s review the learning target for this module- I can create scaffolded text dependent questions (TDQs) that support student understanding of complex text.
Guiding Question: Explain how we can design learning experiences that cultivate language development and content acquisition for ELs and AELs?
Framing this section of the module: In the last portion of the module, you followed a 4-step templateLinks to an external site. intended to guide teachers in creating text dependent questions (TDQs) for ELs:
Step 1: Consider TDQ guidelines for ELs.
Step 2: Provide additional support (background knowledge + academic vocabulary).
Step 3: Provide a guiding question.
Practice & apply: Over the next hour, you will work on Step 4: Outline TDQs and provide sentence frames for ELs.
Upload a copy of the text you used to create your TDQs. You will use the same text that you used to complete the first three steps on the 4-step templateLinks to an external site..
Upload the completed template for creating TDQs (Links to an external site.).
Reflect: Choose one question to reflect on, and add your thinking to the text box.
What part of the scaffolded TDQ process was most challenging?
What support could you get to help mitigate that challenge?
How will the content from this week shift your practice?
