[teacherartexchange] SDAIE images - Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English

Greetings Teacher Art Exchange Members,

I thought I would post this in case anyone else said "huh?" when they
saw "SDAIE images".

Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE), "also
called sheltered instruction, uses language-sensitive strategies,
contextual support, and a focus on academic thinking to make
instruction in English more comprehensible."

"SDAIE is a bridge that spans the gap between language and content. On
one side are students' developing English language abilities, where
the emphasis is on interaction and comprehensible input..........."

As far as symbols? Ditto to what Marvin Bartel said. I can not provide
you with symbols for all of your students (26 language groups). I
would probably show symbols from one culture (Akan, for instance) -
then have students create their own personal symbols (an document what
they mean to them).

I do have some sources for symbols on my site:

I liked doing animal symbolism with 6th grade (students came up with
their own meanings of animals they chose -since many animals had
positive meanings in one culture - but may have a negative meaning in
another).

Sorry I ignored the post when it was first posted. Marvin covered very
well (actually much better - smile) what was on my mind.

Best wishes for your unit, Kathe.
