1:25 - 1:35 - Welcome, Intro
 * What new ideas did you learn about ELLs?
 * Lingering questions?

1:35 - 2:25 - When the World is in Your Classroom __**//5 Basic//** //**Understandings**//__
 * 1) ELL's are diverse**, only across the board commonalty is ELL's have a native language that's not english. All have individual needs, skills, mindsets, abilities, background, and cultures.
 * 2)** **Comprehensible input and Negotiated Interaction**-> Basic Ingredients for language learning. Must be applicable and relative. Good Immersion cannot be Chinese in Chemistry classroom or lectures. Makes students quite, not participate, and feel dumb. Must be able to make sense of it somehow and interact with language.
 * 3) Learning a language is not a convenient straight line**. Types of proficiency varies. Social language 2-3 years, Academic language 5-12 years. Spoken english vs. written english
 * 4) Prior Knowledge matters a lot.** Previous literacy and schooling are huge. What they've done in the past.
 * 5) Being Bilingual makes you twice as smart not half.** Promote the importance of it and the end goal. LEgal and moral obligation to support ELL's.
