What can we learn from the educators before us?

Before Class:

Everybody please read this short article.



After this short article, please be ready to describe what "Emerging Bilingual" means, and why educators should use this term instead of "English Language Learners."

Then choose ONE of these article to read in depth.


 * [[file:Integrating Literacy and Inquiry for English Learners.pdf]]
 * [[file:daily news.pdf]]
 * [[file:Dialogue Journals.pdf]]

During class you will work together with other people who read your same article to unpack it's ideas and practices, then you will model the practice for the class. You will probably need a copy of the article during class, either a digital or paper copy is fine. I will bring some markers and possibly large sheets of paper for you to use a model, or you can use the whiteboard in the room. In general, think about these things when you read:


 * How do these practices promote critical pedagogy?
 * How are these practices good for all learners?
 * How do you see using them in your classroom?
 * What critiques do you have about the practices?
 * What else would you like to know about implementing them?
