Incredible list of bilingual glossaries for teachers, specifically in New York. Many languages and related to content area standards. Scroll to find your subject area! Also - students may use these on NYS assessments.

Content Area MS/HS Teachers - I highly recommend trying this out. You can paste text in or suggest a topic, and tell it to simplify the text, highlight and provide definitions for vocabulary, create activities, really anything you can imagine. It is so quick. I can show you examples if you are interested. [Does not provide images.]

Lanternfish is a great site for printable teaching resources for Language Arts and ELLs. It has endless resources and is free to use. I love the Cloze activities.

Pics4Learning is a curated image library that is safe and free for education. Teachers and students can use the copyright-friendly photos and illustrations for classroom projects, web sites, videos, portfolios, or any other projects in an educational setting. 

https://rewordify.com/

This is a free site that is really good for simplifying text and supporting students in learning English. You can cut and paste assignments, articles, or text from websites and rewordify will make it easier to understand.

Cloze exercises are a simple, but effective way to help ELL students learn new content. They are also known as fill-in-the-blank or gap-fill exercises. Use this free and simple tool to generate exercises for your teaching needs.

https://quillbot.com/summarize

This is another really useful website for paraphrasing, summarizing, creating bullet points from an advanced text, and differentiating. Great for alternative assignments for ELLs that still allow you to present the targeted content.
