BDI Strategies
BDI Instructional Strategies Essential for ELL Students
Biography Driven Strategies (BDI) are strategies that are ESSENTIAL for ELL students. They are great for ALL students, but if we aren't doing these strategies for our ELL students, we aren't providing the support that they need. These strategies are research-based and identified as strategies that will BEST support our students in need.
Check out the strategies in action below:
Active Strategies
Museum Walk
One way to get students interested in a new topic, is to have them do a museum walk.
It goes like this:
- Set out images (or words) of items around the topic you are introducing on tables with paper along each side.
- Have students walk around the room without talking while the music plays.
- When the music stops, students go to the table nearest to them and write a statement and a question about a picture of choice at that table.
- After doing this a few times, you can start the discussion about connections and ideas about the topic being introduced.
THIS blog gives an example of this activity with the topic of living things vs nonliving things.
This is also a great way for our ELL students to get their thoughts out (think Linking Language).
