472 Words2 Pages

First thing first, has anyone tried to open “MyEducationalKit.com”. I have attempted but was not successful. If anyone can access this information, please let me know. -My very first comment came on the first page of Chapter 4, page 105.

Many children learn English and are the English translators and communicators for the entire family. In these situations, very little has changed. I believe the introduction …show more content…

-The “Snapshot of the Classroom Practice 1.1” on page 111 is compatible with the idea of “Snapping Photos” (Buhrow & Garcia2006). I related to the quadrant card used on page 111. I feel these two techniques can be combined and modified in a variety of ways. I found the extended descriptive factors utilized in the quadrant cards incorporate additional student ownership. I believe an increase in student ownership will improve student achievement.
- Center Point High School is hosting a “Newcomer Program”. The program occurred within the last few weeks. The interesting thing is that most people, including me, are unaware of their objectives, when they will attend our school, and what activities they attend during the school day. I inquired about many of my questions, but no one seemed to have any information about the program. I believe the “newcomers” attend from all high schools throughout Jefferson County Board of Education. I know that school buses transport the students to our school. I think they eat lunch at our school, but I am not 100% sure. I “heard” that they may be in a content-based ESL program described in “Instructional Programs for English Language

    Very few, if any, immigrants have the chance to learn English before traveling to the U.S. Because of this barrier, it is nearly impossible for organizations such as the Border Patrol to warn, aid, and communicate with them as they travel to the U.S. Although there are helpful signs along the border, they are written in English and are therefore indecipherable. Furthermore, the language border hinders an immigrant’s ability to survive in American society once they arrive. English is the written and spoken language in almost every city, thwarting immigrants’ opportunity to find jobs and interact with others. As they struggle to communicate, they become ostracized and do not fit in.
