This video demonstrates Dr. Spencer Kagen’s strategy “Trading Cards”. This SDAIE strategy is a fun and interactive way for students to draw on prior knowledge and/or can be used as a content review activity. During this activity students trade cards in order to form random groups and then answer an academic or social question. The “Trading Card” strategy is designed to encourage oral output while focusing on academic concepts and academic language. The “Trading Card” activity can be modified to fit any content area and any student, English Learner or not.
The Escondido Union High School District is committed to supplying teachers with the tools to help them reach their English Learners. This is the first video in the EUHSD’s SDAIE strategy of the month series.
