(Scenario from question 24)
Mr. Munro teaches middle school science in a highly diverse city on the west coast. His classroom composite looks like many other classrooms in America. Two of his students are refugees from Thailand. Many are immigrants from Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe. Others represent a range of racial and ethnic groups. Altogether, seven are ELL students. All are able to converse and make friends, but they struggle with academic language. Mr. Munro has found that using a sheltered instruction approach to teach science content and language skills works best with these students. Describe at least four specific things Mr. Munro is doing or might do to provide affective and emotional/social support for these middle school students during science class. Explain how each of these actions or strategies provides affective, emotional/social support. What will be an ideal response?
