Create a digital toolkit using a tool of your choice (e.g., Padlet, Trello) to display information about the following areas of language: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
This topic will address phonology and morphology as they apply to the teaching of ELLs. You will complete the remainder of your digital toolkit in the next topic.

- A one-sentence definition of the language structure.
- At least 2-3 sentences explaining why the language structure is important for language and academic learning for ELLs.
- Four classroom activities to support the development of the language structure and a brief explanation of how the activities can be differentiated for various English language proficiencies of ELLs.
- One at-home activity and a website link for families to assist with the development of the language structure at home. Include a 2-3 sentence explanation of how the at-home activity can address the various English language proficiencies of ELLs.
Support your digital toolkit with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Submit the resources and a link to your digital toolkit in a single document.
