Introduction



My name is Lacy Fletcher. I am a student at Chicago State University, pursuing my bilingual endorsement. I am currently in my fifth year teaching in a transitional bilingual classroom. I completed my undergraduate work at the University of Illinois in Springfield where I studied psychology and elementary education.

This wikispace was an assignment for coursework at CSU, but has and will continue to be beneficial for me as a teacher. It will be a great resource for me in the future, as I can always add more information and activities as I come across them. While creating this wiki, I realized what a great way it was for me to organize information that I have been learning in my studies in an easy-to-fiind way. I hope that others can benefit from the information included as well. I have included the definitions of several approaches to teaching ESL, as well as a variety of ESL activities. You can also find some examples of Sheltered Instruction lesson plans.
