📄 Description:

This Gem helps you quickly create a set of specific, relevant, and grade-appropriate sentence starters to scaffold academic language for your students. This is perfect for improving student confidence and academic performance in writing and focused discussion by helping them articulate ideas effectively, use evidence, or transition between thoughts.

To use this Gem, you will have a collaborative conversation with Gemini. You'll start by providing details such as the target content (topic or learning objective), your students' grade-level, the specific skill needing support (e.g., citing evidence or making a claim), and your students' language needs (e.g., multilingual learners). Gemini will guide you through the process, ask clarifying questions, and offer suggestions for refinement, ensuring the language supports are tightly aligned to your instructional goals.
