Model, Meet, and Mimic: How to Use Children’s Literature with ELLs in the Elementary Classroom

Abstract

This paper was my Teaching and Learning Department capstone project, giving examples of how to best incorporate children's literature into an elementary classroom. Also discussed is how these practices can help ELLs. Such practices detailed include read-alouds, literature circles, and mentor texts. My research began in EDUC 3390, Literacy Development, with Dr. Debbie Rowe.
