Brad Buhrow and Anne Garcia are primary teachers in a diverse
school in Boulder, Colorado. In "Ladybugs, Tornadoes and Swirling
Galaxies," you will see how they blend comprehension instruction
and ELL best practices to explore inquiry as a literacy pathway for
English language learners.
As teachers and students engage in learning science and social
studies content they also discover multiple ways to make meaning.
The book is full of photographs of student artwork--including a
color insert--that reveals the children's inquiry process, and
demonstrates the important role of art as a sign system in ELL
literacy and language acquisition.
Brad and Anne provide explicit detail on the process they use as
they move step-by-step with students from personal narrative
through the independent inquiry process. They also discuss use of
the Gradual Release Model, authentic assessment, and bilingual
identities.
Appendices in Spanish and English help to round out this
informative and charming resource.
