  8. Scaffold Instruction Temporary support structures teachers put in place to assist students in accomplishing new tasks and concepts they could not typically achieve on their own.

  15. Ramping up Your Lesson • Take a look at the Unit Objective for the lesson or unit that you brought. • Read through all three Transfer Tasks for the unit. • Decide what lesson or concept should be taught with scaffolding. Build that lesson with the gradual release model in mind and maybe some other language acquisition strategies we have learned.
