How can I use it in a course?

• throughout the semester, direct students to create a mini-lesson based on the language acquisition or research-base you are teaching utilizing the photo cards as the student material for the lesson
• throughout the semester, direct students to practice or apply a concept with the photo cards asking students to discuss or role-play different levels of language learners
• model a strategy using the photo cards then ask pairs or small groups to modify it for different language learners (e.g. by proficiency level, country of origin etc.)
• as a final course project ask students to use the photo cards and supplementary materials to create a differentiated unit of study that they can present at the end of the course.
• assign students to create an original ESL/ELL teaching strategy or explain a language learning concepts using the cards as an example and video themselves and post this to YouTube as part of a professional portfolio and/or as a ELL/ESL teaching bank.
