TQRP Homework

Dear TQRP Participant: Check the "period" or session # below for your homework.  You must upload/email it to MSLRGUY@GMAIL.COM by 9:00 AM on Wednesday, August 1, 2018.

Session #3: Read both the scenarios on Marisol and Miguel. For each scenario, identify the students strengths; weaknesses/opportunities and what you would do to bolster their achievement both ACADEMICALLY and DEVELOPMENTALLY/Socially. Remember, learning a language is a socio-emotional, psychological process and NOT just a linguistic one!

Session #2: We began reading the article, "Changing Course for Long Term English Language Learners". Finish reading the article then respond: (Again):
--How does Marisol transition or turn into Miguel? Use evidence from the article, hint, hint....
--What techniques/strategies can students get so that they WILL NOT transition into Miguel (that is Long Term English Learners)? 
--What is Academic Language and how is it different from "casual" Basic Interpersonal Communication?
2. Explore the handouts on my blog. Then write down the name of one handout or activity that you found that you liked, and how you would use it in your classroom or in the future!

Session #1. Same as session #2 above--simply begin reading from, "What is a long Term English Learner?" on page 30 to page 31--the end.  Then complete all the activities for Session #2
