In-Person and Online Adaptations
Example of an English Language Arts Activity
Activity: Writing a narrative
Through Kami, students can create a narrative story by adding pages, text and pictures.
In-Person:
For Teachers: Teachers can remind students about the anchor text, explain instructions for the activity during the lesson and show a teacher or student sample.
For Students: Students can handwrite their story and draw pictures. If ELL students are not able to write their story, they can dictate (and use translanguaging) to share their story with the teacher. The teacher can then scribe the student's story on the pages with the student's pictures.
Online Adaptation:
For Teachers: Teachers can use the mic and/or video tool and record themselves sharing the instructions with students. Teachers can also add a link to the anchor text in the Kami document along with pictures to show teacher or students samples.
For Students: Students can type or use the marker tool to write their story. Using Google Images or the marker tool, students can include pictures to their story. Students can use the mic tool in Kami to express their story orally in English (with translanguaging if needed) or in their home language.
