What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model

for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content domain knowledge

Basically, its focus is on learning by reading and writing using academic language.

It is NOT something extra you need to do in your classroom. It is a set of tools that

make teaching content easier

EXC-ELL

One gray winter day the elderly queen summoned all her grandchildren to the castle. “I have been fortunate to have lived a long life,” she said. “But in time your generation will rule the

country. You must work persistently to help the people and take care of the

land.”“We will always work hard,” the

children replied.“You must also be faithful to your

brothers and sisters, no matter what,” the queen said.

READING

Page 13: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Why should you do Read Alouds in Secondary?

1.) It Builds Fluency2.) Models Self-Correction3.) Models Fix It Strategies4.) Extends Comprehension

5.) Teaches more Words*Make sure to select shorter readings

that are more in-depth!

READ ALOUD & THINK ALOUD?

Page 14: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

From one day to the next, weather can have a big effect on your life.

When it rains, you have to stay indoors or carry an umbrella. When

it’s cold, you have to bundle up. Over the course of hundreds,

thousands, and millions of years, weather trends affect life on Earth in more dramatic ways. Ice ages or long droughts, for example, can wipe out certain types of plants and animals.

SAMPLE READ ALOUD:

Echo Reading1-2-1

#1’s are the native speakers#2 is the newcomer or struggling student

Student 1 reads a sentence. Student 2 repeats. Other Student 1 reads a new

sentence. Student 2 repeats. Continue.

PARTNER READING

Page 16: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Option 2: Partner A reads. Partner B helps.

Partner A retells what happened in the first paragraph. Partner B adds details (The person who reads the page always

retells.) The teacher leads a short discussion of the page to check comprehension. As part of the discussion, partners share a word

that was difficult for them and the strategy they used to read it.

PARTNER READING

Page 17: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Partners discuss what they learnedMap out main ideas or critical elementsFind word meanings they don’t know

Work on their word banksGive each other spelling pre-test

Practice formulating questions from the reading

Work on pronunciation of new wordsWrite about the reading

Play word games

SPONGE ACTIVITIES

Page 18: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

1.) Put students into heterogeneous groups2.) SW clear their desks, except for one piece of paper and pencil for the whole

group3.) Each student writes an answer and

passes the paper to the right4.) Everyone must write an answer

5.) Continue this process until time is called

ROUND TABLE

Page 19: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Give students one minute to look over a text with vocabulary or key concept

Groups should have about 1 minute to take turns writing a word or word cluster from the text

Stop the students after 1 minute Have groups count how many words and word clusters

that they have (for word clusters, count every word. Example: Over the course of hundreds of years = 7 words)

Give students another minute to look over the text. Have students put their heads together to come up with a

strategy to improve their team total Repeat the same activity and have groups try to beat their

first score (this is great to build fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and to practice rereading carefully)

ROUND TABLE

Page 20: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Have students create questions or tasks based on the Bloom’s Taxonomy

SW make up the questions and assignments based on what they learned throughout the unit or just in a week. It is a great activity for ELL’s (English Language Learners) because it allows

them to critically think about the text and encourages them to read, reread, and reread

again to make up their own questions and assignments. ( Let me know if you would like a spreadsheet of all of the Bloom’s Levels like the

example table above)

QUESTIONING

Page 21: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Example: Unit: Insects

Level 1: Knowledge/ Remembering = What is an example of an insect?

Level 2: Comprehension/Understanding = Describe the parts of an insect. Draw and label an example of an insect.

Level 3: Application = Explain the difference between an insect and a worm.

Level 4: Analyzing = Categorize different types of insects based on the reading

Level 5: Evaluate = Judge the life of an insect. Would you want to be an insect? Why or why not?

Level 6: Create = Make a 3D model to show the features of an insect and how it lives in its natural habitat or Make a play with dialogue

where you impersonate and think about the challenges you would face as an insect

WRITING

Page 23: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Students should be writing for a specific purpose every day! Some great ways for students to assess student’s

comprehension quickly are: Data Journal: SW summarize what they learned today and highlight

vocabulary or key concepts Ticket out the Door/ Exit Pass: Ask students a simple question based

on the lesson. This can be a concept, vocabulary, strategy, all of the above, etc. Students can write these on an index card, stickey note, or

a blank sheet of paper. You can quickly glance to see if they got it. Keep track of these exit passes to track students’ growth throughout

the year. Creative Writing: Have students write a story of their choice using the

vocabulary words or to explain a concept (Let the students be as creative as they want. Example: if you are learning about water, have

students write an adventure story about a water droplet using vocabulary or write a mystery story about people who lived in ancient

Egypt.

WRITING

Page 24: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Modeling the Writing Process is one of the best ways to improve

writing skills.

Collaborative and Cooperative Strategies have proven to work the best for students learning English

MODELING WRITING

Page 25: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Give students regular practice with good writing skills. A great tool for this is to show a sentence or

several a day and allow students to make corrections. Example: miguel was gonna go to skool n help with

the Student fundRaiser but he overslept. This is only useful with repetition. Students should

share as a class to help all students writing skills. This exercise is also great because it makes students read,

reread, and correct. It is essential to start training students to practice reading what they wrote and

correct it. This is also great because it builds students critical thinking skills, necessary for EOGs/EOCs.

PRACTICING WRITING

Page 26: By: Mary Campbell & Mariella Duarte. What is Exc-ELL? It is an evidence-based instruction model for intergrating academic language, literacy, and content.

Put students into groups of 3 or 4 Clear their desks except for pencil and paper.

Each student should have a pencil and paper Provide a sentence starter/ prompt or two and

let them choose:Example: Humans are the cause of global

warming due to… OR Nature is the cause of global warming due to…

Students will take turns adding a sentence and then passing the paper to the right

Students should continue adding on a sentence to the paper until time is called
