Using Data to Dictate Dynamite Dictados

In this session participants will learn how to use collaborative planning to analyze students’ bilingual and biliteracy patterns to write Dictados. Participants will analyze student work, discuss noticeable patterns in language approximations, and collaboratively develop teach points that should be taught explicitly or through transfer. Sample Dictados at the elementary and middle school level will be shared. Ideas for how to include collaborative planning time for creating Dictados will be shown, as well.
