  1. Access Strategy: Cooperative Learning Strategies

  2. Shuffle

  3. Goals • Practice effective scaffolding of Cooperative Learning techniques to increase ELs’ listening and speaking skills.

  4. Why Cooperative Learning? For SELs, ELs, Students w/Disabilities, and Gifted students, cooperative learning promotes: • language acquisition • opportunities to practice their skills with more advanced students • thinking skills when students brainstorm, explain, question, disagree, socialize, persuade, and problem-solve.

  5. Essentials for Cooperative Learning 1) Clear “student-friendly” objectives Ex: We are going to do a gallery walk activity. My goals for you are to practice your listening and speaking skills. I also want you to begin to think about the image of America which will help you as we go into our unit on foreign policy. 2) Expectations of behavior 3) Modeling – short model of what the activity looks like and sounds like in action 4) Prompts – give students sentence starters

  6. 4 Corners Activity • Low risk for students • Facilitates small group interaction • Helps ELs practice oral language • Can be spontaneous

  7. Student-friendly Objectives • The goals for you are to practice your listening and speaking skills. • I also want you to begin to think about “American Values”. This will help you as we go into our unit on the Bill of Rights.

  8. 4 Corners Directions • Determine whether you Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, or Strongly Disagree with the statement • Write your response on a 3x5 card • Move to the corner of the room that matches your response • While in your corner, you will have a small group discussion with your peers

  9. Expectations • Everyone will participate • Students will respectful of each other’s opinions • Stay on task • Be mindful of time

  10. Statement 1: The United States is welcoming to immigrants. • I agree with the statement because … • I chose this side because… • My reason for choosing this side is because… Good words to use are: support, evidence, basis, proof, facts, data, demonstrate

  11. Modeling • I came to the “no” corner because I don’t agree that the United States is welcoming to immigrants. My reason is that everyday you hear that they want to keep building more fences and hire more guards at the border. That’s evidence the US wants to keep immigrants out.

  12. Statement 2: We have more freedom now than we did 50 years ago. • I agree with the statement because… • I chose this side because… • My reason for choosing this side is because… Good words to use are: support, evidence, basis, proof, facts, data, demonstrate

  13. Gallery Walk Activity 1. Walk around the room and take a look at the images on the walls. 2. Question: Which image BEST represents American values? 3. Select and stand by the image you have chosen. (There cannot be more than 5 people in each group.)

  14. Gallery Walk Directions • Have a Round Robin discussion (each person speaks) • I chose this image because it shows … • This image most represents America because… • I think this image most represents America by …

  15. Gallery Walk Example I chose this image of a cowboy because to me it reflects the American value of independence and having an adventurous spirit. I see this image in movies and ads.

  16. Group Statement 1. As a group write a statement on how the image you selected represents our American values. 2. As a group “walk” around the room to read each statement. 3. CHALK TALK: Respond to other groups’ statements. Use marks, words, or add additional comments.

  17. Helpful Hints for CL • Monitor the noise level and have consequences when kids get too loud. • If you are asked the same question by two groups, you may want to stop the whole class to clarify and take additional questions. • Use a rubric or checklist for students to grade their group’s collaboration. • Assign a group monitor if you are concerned about off task behavior. Assign a role to each student.

  18. Reflection • How could the CL activities be beneficial for ELs? • Is there an upcoming lesson where you could use either 4 Corners, Gallery Walk or Stay and Stray? • What barriers/issues could you see for using one of the CL activities in your classroom?
