An ELL joins the classroom mid-year. She appears to speak fluent English and

she has been speaking English.
The input-hypothesis model developed by Steven Krashen would suggest that
ELLs would benefit from

Do nothing. This was a minor traffic violation.
A convergent question
has a simple, short answer and requires the use of lower-order thinking skills.
Shared classroom materials should be
easily accessed, assembled prior to beginning the lesson, and safe for student use.
Drill and practice is primarily used to
re-teach a skill that a student has failed to master.
A teacher is arrested for domestic violence, but does not report the incident
