ESL students/or any at risk learners find the notebooks very difficult. How do I work with second language learners to get them started in their notebooks?
I think the best way for ANY student to learn science vocabulary is to allow them the opportunity to draw about their experiments and label drawings using a word bank or glossary. They can dictate to someone who can translate the writing for them initially. I just require pictures and labels. They can copy the writing from their partner. Consider using cloze passages, and tracing of words. Use the same vocabulary in Math, Reading, and Writing.
