WELCOME, FALL 2010 Students!
Resource page
Welcome to Educating Linguistically Diverse Students to our first class, August 23!
First Learning Invitations:
Objective: Exploring the importance of stories in our own lives via place: Place ourselves in Stories
Vocabulary: Google Earth, writing marathon, Red Apple Transit
Part I: Search GOOGLE EARTH about significant Place (1-1:30pm)
Computers are set up so that you can Google a place of significance to you and then tell your partner about it. Partner listens and retells your story.
LLSS 315 is about stories. The heart of teaching and learning are stories. Our practicum will involve stories. If everything starts from the center and moves outward, then we start with ourselves and move out toward the students. We have to understand ourselves first and our stories.
Part II is getting out and about in the community & Writing Marathon (Depart 1:44pm)
Riding the Red Apple Transit Bus one hour round trip from UNM
Along the way we will participate in a writing marathon where we will write, read, ride, sharing with your partner.
In Honor of our Writing Marathon on the Red Apple Transit (departing at 1:44pm for approximately one hour), this song was inspired by you and is dedicated to you and your ride:
OUR RIDING/WRITING MARATHON DITTI
We’re going for a ride on the Red Apple, the Red Apple, the Red Apple.
We’re going for a ride on the Red Apple, How about them apples!
We’re going for a ride, ride, ride and we’re going to write and read in style.
We’re going for a ride, ride, ride. Now wave to our classroom a goodbye!
We’re walking down the steps, (oh yes we are) and we’re walking out the door (put your foot to the floor)We’re waiting for the bus, (now beam us up); we’re running for the bus (wait for us)!!!
Adapted from the song: “Momma takin’ us to the Zoo Tomorrow”
Share a writing entry with class members when we return to UNM classroom.
Why did you think we went on a Red Apple Transit Ride today?
Our goal is to ultimately realize that students bring stories of where they live to school. Students are walking stories coming through the classroom door. When they walk through the classroom door, they will know whether we honor them, their language, culture-or stories not by what we say but by what we do in our classroom. The places we traveled along the Red Apple Transit way are places where some of our students live. This is their community and we need to feel a part of it, therefore, we need to know what is in it. Throughout our class, we will have opportunities to visit places in the community that you choose as interesting, little known or worthy of learning more about.
In this class we will learn to appreciate stories on all levels and its valuable role in teaching and learning. We will use stories as the content and context for learning, as you will see in our practicum at Apache Elementary School.
Please post your writing marathon entry or reflection from Red Apple Transit to our course blog before 8/30 we meet next week. See preview for next week, August 30th class.
I look forward to our storied time together! Frances
