Resource Description

This resource describes a peer tutoring activity designed for English Language Learner (ELL) newcomers. Peer tutors introduce new vocabulary using flashcards, guide students in creating sentences with the words, and then have them turn those sentences into cloze (gap-fill) exercises on whiteboards. The activity concludes by combining two newcomer groups, who then use their flashcards and clozes to teach another group.
