Building Vocabulary for ELL students

From your required reading and other sources, write a 500-750 word  persuasive essay to your fellow teachers describing the benefits of  strategies that encourage vocabulary development within the  pre-production and early production stages of language acquisition.  These strategies should transcend all content areas. Describe the  Silent Period and how it affects vocabulary development. How could  this be accounted for within your teaching?
