Scaffolding Synonyms and Antonyms through Translanguaging (Primary)
An important factor in translanguaging is knowing the different registers – when to use different tones, words, phrases. It’s important to know which terms are appropriate for specific circumstances. Especially in those languages (such as English) in which there is no formal or informal pronouns, register and tone transmit crucial information. To give our students an even wider prospects in their scholastic and professional lives, being comfortable with – or at least recognising – register is of the highest importance.

Scaffolding Writing to Elicit Empathy (Primary)
Writing is one of the four cornerstone skills of every inclusive educational curriculum. It helps us form our thoughts into coherent verses and communicate over distance and time. It is a skill usually approached as a way of appeasing bands for standardised exams, but, in fact, is the perfect tool to foster the development and expression of empathy.
Empathy is a way of connecting with other people in such a way so that you show you understand what they’re experiencing – and that you respect their experience as something meaningful – even though you may not understand exactly how it feels for them. In other words, empathy is about finding a way to connect.

Scaffolding with Irony (Primary)
Adding humour to a lesson is always a recipe for success. Humour changes the dynamic of the class and helps students to see their lessons with a different frame of mind. This scaffold uses irony – the highest form of humour – to help make potentially dry material more inviting and accessible.
The use of humour is engrained in our cultural perspectives. Edward T. Hall, one of the pioneers of cultural studies for the purpose of preparing us for and appreciating the differences in peoples across the globe, elucidates the varying uses of humour in different environments. American humour, for instance, is binary and is either present or absent. In the Far East, on the other hand, one encounters a wide spectrum of subtle degrees of humour that are commonly present.*

Scaffolding Texts through Verbal Deliberation (Primary)
This scaffold helps students to become personally involved in whatever text they are asked to read. The technique includes using verbal reasoning to aid in the reading of new material – so that the reader has the opportunity to build a mental representation of the text through critical thinking and deliberation. The active dialogue while reading helps students to maintain active nodes (that might otherwise be passive), and the construct of knowledge then becomes stronger and can be accessed longer.
