Document-Based Questions, which require sophisticated historical thinking and literacy skills, are often inaccessible to multilingual learners. This session for grade 6-12 social studies teachers will present a methodology for making DBQs accessible to MLLs, through scaffolding tools and model DBQs created by a team of history teachers and EL specialists from Massachusetts through a Library of Congress grant.
This webinar is free of charge, but you must register to participate. It is designed for grade 6-12 social studies teachers, administrators and anyone interested in supporting immigrant youth.
