 Explaining Symbols
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, and I'm also new to teaching. I haven't even finished my undergraduate coursework, but I'm taking 2 graduate TESOL classes. For one of the classes, we have to think of ways to explain what symbols are to 6th grade ELLs. Does anyone have any links or ideas that we (my group and I) could use? I know that the most obvious thing to do is to bring in pictures of symbols, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about explaining them. I would like to be creative and not copy other people's ideas, but I have never taught before, so I need a push in the right direction. Any help is appreciated...thanks! |
