The ability to switch perspective is essential to learning in every domain. For those who follow Deepak Chopra and his deeply rooted scientific conclusions regarding the human condition, the more effort we make in seeing a situation through the perspective of someone we are offended by or disagree with, the more we heal on a cellular level – both emotionally and physically. Students are going to read chunks of dialogue taken from various tracks.

Scaffolding Human Rights (Secondary)
March 25th is the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. As educators, it’s vital for us to pass on bits of history so that even our youngest learners can internalise the injustice of what happened, in order to create more hope for the human population of today. Most history texts are written in depersonalised structures (passive tense with no recognisable narrator’s voice), and so are divorced from a tangible context that we usually need to connect to the information. Let’s add humanity and feeling to history so that our students see the connection to what happened in the past, their reality, and what they can do to make positive changes in the future.

Scaffolding Academic Language by Identifying Visual Differences (Secondary)
Studies show that memorising academic language is ineffective in the long-term*. Students may be able to pass an exam they are studying for, but without having used the terms to analyse, compare, categorise, and defend their own ideas, most students will forget the meanings of the words as quickly as they learned them.
The solution is easy. We create opportunities for our students to use these words, terms and phrases while analysing, comparing, categorising, and defending their own ideas.

Scaffolding with Timelines (Secondary)
We can create timelines – or use ones that are offered in the Student Books – as effective tools our students can use to categorise new knowledge through different learning styles, thus encouraging the information to pass from short-term to long-term memory. **
Timelines are used when there is a definitive focus on the concept being studied. Using them, we create a particular question our students need to answer or some situation or event that they need to understand; we can also, of course, use a queries from their Student Books. Cooperative learning is recommended because, if a challenge arises in which one student is weak on linguistics while another is weak on visual clues, they can work together to transfer their respective weakness into strengths. Previously unsuccessful students can then become successful in making sense of, and will acquire a feeling of control over, the subject matter.

Scaffolding Challenging Terms and Academic Language
Developing new academic language can be challenging for students in any language. If the terms or vocabulary are intrinsic to a successful interaction of the task, we need to make a bit of extra effort to give our students support so they feel more confident about their understanding and usage of the language. Scaffolding techniques can help students bridge gaps so that they can engage in challenging units with more ease.
This scaffold integrates images and linguistics giving students support in different learning styles. They learn the parameters of a term experientially, using vocabulary that is provided, discerning differences in images and paying close attention to details in the information given. Critical thinking, multiple possibilities for recognising truths, and verbalisation will engage your students in a powerful collaborative activity towards new knowledge.
