I feel that parents tend to be narrow-mined and never seem to realize that times have changed since their childhood. The reason is, that those parents or grandparents who came from other countries, or those who lived back in the early or mid 1900 's, all lived a different way than today. Our very own society, neighborhood, styles, and friends have changed. Therefore, what my parents usually tend to do is to compare themselves at being the same age as me, when they were younger; when

Literacy: Marina is currently setting and working towards learning goals in reading and writing. In reading, Marina is beginning to read word by word and is encouraged to work on using reading strategies to help develop confidence when reading. She would benefit from reading books with repetitive sentence patterns. Marina is in a group for literacy that focuses on letter recognition and sounds, which will help support her in reading and writing. With support, she is able to communicate her ideas by using sentence starters such as I like_____ or I feel_____. Marina is beginning to gain confidence in her writing and often has beginning and ending sounds in her words. She is encouraged to continue to work on sounding out her words by using the strategy of ‘stretchy snake’. She is also encouraged to work on her spacing and organization when writing in her journal. She would benefit from skipping lines and starting at the left side of the page.

Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts, including using adjectives and adverbs to describe (

Whatever you do, the younger will try to imitate you because they see you as their role model. An example of this is with me and my younger sister who is only two years younger than me. My parents would always tell me that I am the role model for my sister. She looks up to me, and whatever I do she will try to imitate me or surpass me. When I was in the 4th grade, there was a science fair held for all 4th graders and 5th graders. Everyone had to enter and my project was about rotting bananas. A month had passed and it was time for the judges to judge all the science projects. They were announcing the results of who won and it was at the moment I told my friends standing right next to me that I was not going to win. Funny thing is, right after I said that, I won second place. I then entered again the following year and won second place again. Winning 2nd place both years has provided my sister determination to also do well in the science fair when it is her turn. Then, when my sister was in 4th grade, she told me that she was going to try her best to get 1st place. She had that belief because she saw me get 2nd place before and saw me as her role model. To both of our surprise, she actually won 1st place in not only the 4th grade, but also 5th grade too. Due to the fact she saw me as her role model, her view on me has lead her to do better things and has

Effective teaching lessons should incorporate strategies that move CLD students from the known to the unknown to promote development of conceptual understanding, vocabulary knowledge and proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening. One strategy that provided my CLD students an opportunity to use their own background knowledge from what is known to making sense with the unknown was the Linking Language Strategy. This built a bridge between the specific content being taught to elicit connections, activating existing knowledge and vocabulary.

Last fall, I challenged my AP Language and Composition students to complete an original inquiry research project. I used the words “challenge” and “inquiry” because I wanted to inspire them to “own” this project about any topic or problem they chose. To me, “owning” one’s learning means that one makes choices about how to pursue it and complete it independently, and when necessary, revises based on one’s own judgments and data independently collected.

A survey done by the Center for Applied Linguistics in 2008 found that "The findings indicate a serious disconnect between the national call to educate world citizens with high-level language skills and the current state of foreign language instruction in schools across the country"(Cal:Research).
