Introduction
The following reflection is about the article Using Sheltered Instruction to Support English Learners by Amy Markos and Jennifer Himmel. This reflection will give a summary of the article and reflect how the information can be used in the classroom.
Summary
Sheltered Instruction to Support English Learners defines shelter instruction as a strategically and systematically approach to incorporate English language development into content-area instruction (Markos & Himmel, 2016). Sheltered instruction became popular in the early 1980s. Prominent models of sheltered instruction include …show more content…

The Vocabulary Quilt strategy allows instructors to incorporate content vocabulary instruction at students’ English language proficiency. This strategy also allows students to work with others which promotes social-cultural development. The U-C-ME strategy allows instructors to uncover existing connections that students already have with content, concentrate on critical concepts, and monitor/evaluate the students understanding of a concept (Herrera, Perez, Kavimandan, & Wessels, 2013).
Reflection
The article on sheltered instruction did not contain any surprised for me. I have already incorporated many sheltered instruction strategies into my classroom. There are many areas of sheltered instruction that I could dig deeper into. One area I would like to learn about is the summative assessments that correlate with sheltered instruction. How do these assessments match the Iowa Core Standards and ESL Standards.
Conclusion

Sheltered instruction can help develop communitive approaches that promote social-cultural relationships between students. The four language arts domains of reading, writing, speaking, and listening can be incorporated in sheltered instruction strategies (Markos & Himmel, p

Lucille Parkinson McCarthy, author of the article, “A Stranger in Strange Lands: A College Student Writing Across the Curriculum”, conducted an experiment that followed one student over a twenty-one month period, through three separate college classes to record his behavioral changes in response to each of the class’s differences in their writing expectations. The purpose was to provide both student and professor a better understanding of the difficulties a student faces while adjusting to the different social and academic settings of each class. McCarthy chose to enter her study without any sort of hypothesis, therefore allowing herself an opportunity to better understand how each writing assignment related to the class specifically and “what

After few hours reading, “The Sanctuary of School” was written by Lynda Barry, grew up in an interracial neighborhood in Seattle, Washington State. Then, I think this article was interesting to read. I love the way how she told us her past experience by using her own voice to lead us step by step get into her story, then she also shares us about her feeling and how it impacted to her future life. Plus, at the end, she argues that the government should not be cutting the school programs and art related activities. Those programs definitely do help the students and the parents as well.

Have you ever ever been schooled? In the story “Schooled” by Gordon Korman, the characters during the story learn a lesson and are schooled or educated in a certain way that can eventually change the characters. The main character Cap helps bullies and nerds alike to be comfortable and be friendly, but is challenged at every turn by Zach Powers, the big man on campus. You will soon see that the title “Schooled” is very appropriate to this novel. The way I will show this is through the characters Zach, Hugh, and Naomi getting schooled.

In summary, as Latino’s English language learner students lag in communication skills and in science vocabulary, it is vital that educators are knowledgeable on how to prepare the students to compete in the 21st century economy. Poplin and Phillips (1993) argued that often students are wrongfully labeled as “learning disabled” due to what some educators thought as a language difference in Latino English language learners, and inadequately recognizing the relationship between vocabulary knowledge and comprehension of text. On the contrary, Campos, Delgado and Huerta (2013) suggested that educators need to recognize the misconception about English language learners and provide accommodations to support their teaching and learning in the classroom,

The Skin That We Speak The way a person speaks is a direct link to a person’s culture and the environment which he or she was raised in. A person’s language, skin color as well as economic status influences the way he or she is perceived by others.

We find Jamal in the same position as many student athletes; that is, he has found success on the ballfield but not in the classroom. Since Jamal has already reached tenth grade, many teachers may have given up on educating him and just want to “pass him along” to keep peace with the school’s athletic department, Jamal’s parents, and sometimes even the school’s administration. This behavior of passing him along has likely suited Jamal, as well, since, like most people, he prefers to take part in activities that result in success and bring him praise. Even in the light of Jamal’s contentment with doing the least he can to get by, as his language arts teacher, it is my job to educate him, that is, to enable him to read and understand what
