 Lesson Planning for English Language Learners

Lesson planning for teachers of ELLs can often be complex and time consuming. Despite those obstacles, we must create lessons which develop our students' language skills and at the same time offers them opportunities to access the necessary content knowledge.
Here is my attempt to transcend the obstacles of time and complexity.  The ELL Cheatsheet is a collection of structures and activities that can help ESL teachers create quality lesson plans using a simple, menu of options.  Give it a try.  You can view the documents here and at the bottom of the page they are available for download.

Use the mind map to the right to help you navigate the process.
