These two posters are useful resources to guide your students in self-monitoring and self-assessing their own skills as well as their performance in class. Students can assess what they learned by being aware of how much they really understand a topic. The self-monitoring traffic light can be placed in your classroom as a tool to work on ELLs needs. The other poster is for teachers to teach their students how to make connections using simple annotations. It can be used at any time during second language instruction.
