This session will demonstrate research-proven strategies for developing academic oral vocabulary in English and Spanish. A lesson will be modeled which demonstrates how to deepen conversation while holding students accountable through engaging discussions about fine art images. Participants will receive handouts of "talk moves" in Spanish and in English that they can apply across the curriculum. They will also receive sample lessons in Spanish and English to try out in their own classrooms.
