Title: City Building Activity for Spanish
Body:
From https://aventurasnuevas.wordpress.com
Here's an interpretive reading activity for Spanish learners in which they follow instructions to construct a fictional city. As the author of the activity says, "While this may seem simple at face value, it is deceivingly complex. [Students] need to be able to read carefully, use spatial skills (uf! this is a challenge!), and work collaboratively with their partners, in addition developing their language skills."

Title: High-Quality Teaching Materials for ELLs Is Goal of New Initiative

High-Quality Teaching Materials for ELLs Is Goal of New Initiative
By Corey Mitchell
February 20, 2019
The Council of the Great City Schools and Los Angeles Unified School District have launched the first phase of a nationwide initiative to improve the quality of instructional materials for English-language learners—and the training for teachers who work with them.
The first products of the partnership are middle school math materials, designed with the goal of preparing more English-learners to take Algebra I by 9th grade.
The council, which represents more than 70 of the nation's large urban school districts, began a purchasing consortium under the premise that the combined buying power of districts that serve millions of ELL students would compel publishers to improve the quality of materials they produce for those students.
...The consortium allows any school district in the nation to join and purchase the materials. More than a dozen districts have already expressed interest, Casserly said.

Title: How to Use Augmented Reality in Language and Literature Classes
Body:
From https://www.coolcatteacher.com/how-to-use-augmented-reality-in-language-and-literature-classes/
In this episode, Vicki Davis talks to TW Williamson, an educator in Taiwan, about his experience using augmented reality in the classroom. He is using augmented reality by having students create a way to show their understanding of concepts in literature. Simply put, students create visuals for the concepts that they read in their books. But it actually is much more interesting and complicated than that. Listen to him talk how it is done in his class, and its strengths and weaknesses as well.
