SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

● Use a variety of visuals to de fi ne meaning of words and phrases (ie. pictures of people greeting one another, etc.). ● Use a graphic organizer to differentiate vocabulary, phrases, & images for students to make associations between objects & vocabulary. ● Pair with partners to practice conversation/group students to allow opportunity for them to practice speaking. Before assigning students a conversation, model the conversation, and provide sentence frames or sentence starters. ● Use gestures and oral repetition of key phrases and words in multiple contexts. ● Provide opportunities for more conversation with fl uent speakers via Zoom or Google Meet. ● Interview or survey other students about a chosen topic in Spanish, then present your fi ndings to the class. ● Provide more complex text in Spanish for students to read. ● Students can build and categorize word lists (synonyms, antonyms, etc.) ● Have students record themselves speaking the language and re fl ect on their progress. ● Students can practice translating from English to Spanish in speech or writing.
