ESL Beginner & Newcomer Back to School Ice Breakers- Secondary & High School ELL

It’s the first day of school, and you have no idea what level of English your ELL students have. It’s intimidating, but let’s not sweat it. I have used this activity to get students moving and connecting.

I know you’re back-to-school busy, so this is ready to download, open, and project to your students.

Description:

It’s the first day of school, and you have no idea what level of English your ELL students have. It’s intimidating, but let’s not sweat it. I have used this activity to get students moving and connecting.

I know you’re back-to-school busy, so this is ready to download, open, and project to your students.

Here’s what you’ll get:

✔ a slide with directions and hyperlinks to make implementation a breeze

✔ 10 this or that slides with common choices regardless of cultural background
✔ speaking stems to help all students access English learning

✔ a writing reflection with images that allow all students to produce

But what you will love is:

❤️students will begin connecting with their peers on day 1

❤️students will be acquiring English through reading and listening on day 1

❤️you will be able to informally assess your students’ personalities and language levels to make future grouping and differentiation easy
