GLAD
Amazing teaching strategies for teaching ELL
students!
Personal favorites: Inquiry Charts, Big Books, Chants,
Scientist Awards, Compare and Contrast, Response
Journals, Found poetry, and Sentence Pattern.
There is a plethora of resources and opportunities
for application
Sentence Pattern
One of the strategies used for GLAD
Teaches All parts of speech to a tune
When applied the learning is immediate- it will stick
your students minds
Sentence Frames
Many, many options...
One of my favorite frames
includes this form for a
summary sentence:
Someone/wanted/but/so
Example: The big bad wolf
wanted to eat one of the
three little pigs, but he
was unsuccessful in his
attempts to blow down a
house so he climbed down a
chimney.

Mimic Writing
Students read multiple picture books
Notice author craft
Students choose a book or author to mimic
Students write their own story version
Celebrate the accomplishment
Choice Prompts/ Writing
Derby
Allow students to choose between prompts for quick writes
Students generate writing for 5 minutes, then count words, and
graph their progress (fast visual for student and teacher)
This can be extended later to any focus in writing (i.e. have
students count mind-movie sentences or vivid verbs or helping
verbs)
It is simple; students with a reluctance for writing will gladly
play this basic “game.”
