Alexander's Sep 12 Ed Camp's 4+1 Session

This past Thursday our department was invited to participate in Alexander's first ever Ed Camp. We decided to present a "refresher"on the 4+1 language objectives strategy along with sharing some resources teachers could use in their classrooms right away.

Here are some of the resources we shared with all bilingual teachers at Alexander:

• 4+1 Session presentation
• Dr. Medina's quick video explanation of the 4+1 strategy
• 4+1 Cards examples used in and actual classroom (Hodge - 5th grade)
• Hodge's 5th grade student explaining how she uses this strategy
• Language domains template 1
• Language domains template 2
• Sticky notes activity template 1
• Sticky notes activity template 2
• Sticky notes activity pictures
• 4+1 activity/reflection form
• ELPS Language objectives sentence stems (This resource is AMAZING in assisting you write language objectives for your class)

It is my hope that you learn something useful from these resources and that you can find them valuable enough to give it a try in your own classrooms. Like always, I'm here to help and if you'd like to know more about any of these components, please contact me directly and/or leave a comment below, I'll be more than happy to support you.
