  1. JessicaVolz Description of the ELL: My ELL’s name is Javier. He grew up in Peru, and moved with his parents to Florida about a year ago. His two sisters live back in Peru with his grandparents, because his parents could not afford to fly them all to the States yet. They are working on a ranch, and hope to have their whole family over here someday when they get the money. Both of Javier’s parent speak only Spanish at home. Though Javier still speaks Spanish at home and with a few other ELL friends at school, he has shown much improvement in his English speaking in the past year. He can speak very well socially, but still struggles academically, especially with content- specific vocabulary. Because of this, I chose to use pictures (real pictures rather than cartoons) and Spanish translations to help him as he learns our new science vocabulary. I also intentionally picked some animals that are native to Peru, to add some familiarity.

  4. Jessica Volz Supplementary materials For my supplementary materials, I would bring in pictures of different living things for them to categorize, and let them use nationalgeographic.com and what they already know to help classify the animals. Here are come pictures that I would let them choose from for their animals: Queen Angelfish, African Elephant, African Lion, Two- toed Sloth, Humpback Whale, Llama, Amazon Horned Frog, Alligator Snapping Turtle, Oyster, Andean Condor, Australian King Parrot, and Giant Clam. I purposefully chose some animals that may be familiar to them, as they are native to Peru.

Along with each picture, this site had wonderful descriptions of each animal, that students could use to aid them in their classification. I researched animals that were native to Peru on discoverperu.org (http://www.discover-peru.org/category/biodiversity-flora-fauna-peru/animals-of-peru/).
