360 Words2 Pages

I chose to read Chapter 14 “English Language Learners in the Secondary Classroom” from Adolescent Literacy, Field Tested: Effective Solutions for Every Classroom.

    Florence Kelley was a women’s rights activist who gave a speech before the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in the summer of 1905 on the topic of child labor.

Kelley’s writing was meant to persuade the audience to improve child labor laws and safety by appealing to pathos. Throughout the beginning of the essay, there’s repetition of the phrase: “[W]hile we sleep.”

    In this article, a serious observation was conducted to see if there is indeed an association and similarities between ELL students and LD students. The findings presented that in as much as determination of ELLs with LD is quite complicated and not as easy as the system would have wanted it to be, the sustainability of the available programs to service the demands of these populations is in need of a push to address the increasing number of ELL students that are identified to be having LD needs.

All throughout this article Tan uses personal experience from her mom to show the readers the struggle while also using primary sources to back up her claim. All the evidence backs up her initial claim and as the reader your perspective changes after reading about how she personally was effected. The author 's main claim of Mother Tongue is to persuade people so respect people who struggle with English because she has serval personal connections, she has fact based proof, and she is an experienced writer on this topic and in general. All throughout the reading she uses many personal stories and personal experiences on how difficult it was for her mother to go through her everyday life.
