The Research Says… “Even advanced ELLs and those who have been redesignated as fluent in English will experience difficulty with unusual vocabulary, figurative language, very complex sentence structures, or unfamiliar styles and genres (just as many native speakers of English do). For this reason, the integration of intensive language development with reading instruction is highly recommended for ELLs at all levels of language proficiency.” (Irujo,2007) 9

Explicit Instruction How do I do it? setting a purpose for learning telling students what to do showing them how to do it guiding their hands-on application of the new learning. Explicit instruction begins with setting the stage for learning, followed by a clear explanation of what to do (telling), followed by modeling of the process (showing), followed by multiple opportunities for practice (guiding) until independence is attained. Topics and content are broken down into small parts and taught individually. It involves explanation, demonstration and practice. Children are provided with guidance and structured frameworks. 10

Imagery and Mood The mood of a literary work is the feelings that a writer wants readers to have while reading. It’s the atmosphere that’s created. Writers can choose words, phrases, and images to create a whole range of moods—from anger and sadness to excitement and fear. 12

Quackling What is the imagery and mood? How does descriptive language play a part? What is the figurative language? What is the story structure? 13

Imagery and Mood 14

Imagery - Language that appeals to one or more of the five senses. It consists of descriptive words and phrases that recreate sensory experiences that help the reader imagine exactly what is being described. Mood: The feeling or atmosphere the writer creates for the reader 15

Sensory Details Sound SightTasteTouchSmell 16

Figurative Language The student will identify and explain the author’s use of figurative language 17

Instant Print Rich Environment Literary devices create images, even in informational texts. “My mom is as busy as a bee.” Teachers should take advantage of the descriptive language in all genres and have students collect and display it around the room. The more that they see it, and hear it, the more they will use it. 18
