This CER Poster is a staple in my classroom. I use it to teach, preview, and support multilingual learners through the writing process. It contains a brief description of each component, sentence frames, and example, and a transitions/linkers to promote autonomy in writing.

With AI all around us, it's challenging to see student's authentic writing. Use this quick-write handout "Am I a system?" in science class to collect an authentic writing sample from your students. It will help you see where they need support in their writing and in the conceptual understanding.

Add literacy to your science classrooms by using information gap activities! Complete with a word bank and images, use this resource to teach and/or review diffusion and osmosis.

34 charades cards to use as a fun and simple warm-up and/or flex time opportunities during class. These cards can be used for ESL/EAL students to acquire new casual vocabulary or young learners needing an outlet. Embrace being silly with your learners as a way to bond your classroom community!
