I read EL Excellence a few months back and I am confident that you will LOVE it just as much as I do. It is an amazingly informative, user-friendly text that will likely become one of your "go-to" resources when you are planning lessons, striving to use best practices for ELs, and/or supporting your colleagues to better understand the needs of English learners.

The round 13 chat will go on for 5 weeks and our reading schedule is as follows:

I will tweet out questions for each week's reading and will include links to the questions here on this post as well so you can easily find all the questions in one location.

Week 1 Questions
Week 2 Questions
Week 3 Questions
Week 4 Questions

If you will be joining us in reading EL Excellence, please introduce yourself on our Flipgrid!

Welcome!

We are excited to kick off our first ever #EllChat_BkClub technology challenge. Sarah Said suggested we add technology challenges/discussions throughout the year, so I brought her on as the official #EllChat_BkClub Technology Coordinator. 

During this week-long slow chat between book rounds, we are going to explore and discuss the app Seesaw. Some of us have committed to obtaining Seesaw Ambassador status by completing their the 3-hour training course, so we can also discuss and reflect on that experience and what we've learned.

 Sarah and I both recently became Ambassadors! (woot!)

First things first...Introductions!

Please introduce yourself on our #Seesaw4ELs Flipgrid so we can get to know our group.

Please feel free to answer some/all of these questions at your own pace. 

We are using the hashtags #EllChat_BkClub and #Seesaw4ELs for this round.

We are planning a LIVE Google Hangout, but the date/time are still TBD. Hope you can join us!
