Alex created a bilingual children's book in French and English for his senior project. He wanted to display the French language in a simple, creative way for children. Through his research, he learned that bilingual children tend to perform better academically and have more career opportunities. However, translating from English to French and finding a publisher for an inexperienced author were challenges. Ultimately, a local bookstore agreed to publish the book. While the project helped Alex rule out teaching foreign languages as a career due to limited job prospects, he is now interested in pursuing nursing.

Hello, My Name Is Chris
Chris has a BA in English from CSU Stanislaus, a single subject teaching credential from CSU Fresno, and will soon complete a Masters in Teaching from CSU Fresno. He has been teaching GED and high school English classes at Fresno Adult School since 2006 and implemented a successful distance learning program there. His motivation to teach comes from wanting to help those less fortunate and make his immigrant family proud.
Research project
The document summarizes a research project comparing how children who learn two languages (Daniil, who speaks Russian at home) adapt in school compared to those learning one language (James). The researcher observed both boys in their classroom over three sessions, noting that Daniil struggled more with English skills but was equal intellectually. Interviews found Daniil liked learning both languages but it was difficult, while James found English hard already. The conclusion was that learning a second language is challenging and causes difficulties communicating, but over time Daniil will benefit from extra language support.

Pamela_Hernandez_-_2
This document discusses the importance of embracing diverse languages and dialects. It argues that the growing Hispanic population in the US means standard English alone will not accommodate all communities. Teachers should respect students' home languages and require learning multiple languages and dialects to cultivate bilingual, bi-dialectal communicators. Requiring only English limits students and devalues their cultures and identities. Embracing linguistic diversity is vital in an increasingly multicultural society.
Spring2010-NNELL publication
This article summarizes the Russian language curriculum at Argonne Elementary School in San Francisco.

Each unit introduces vocabulary and cultural topics through hands-on activities, stories, games and role-playing. Cultural displays around the school immerse students in the Russian language and culture. In the classroom, students sing, dance and act out animals to learn about their cultural significance in Russia. The goal is for students to acquire language and culture holistically rather than through isolated mini-lessons.

The document discusses the pros and cons of connected vs disconnected data access in ADO.NET. It notes that disconnected access is generally simpler to design and scale but has limitations for large data volumes, custom aggregation, and performance-sensitive code. The document provides examples of when different connected and disconnected approaches such as cursors, data readers, and incremental loading are better suited. It concludes that while disconnected access is preferable by default, a balanced approach using both connected and disconnected pieces as needed works best.
Third Work Log
Alex Arzenshek is writing a bilingual children's book. Over the course of several meetings and work sessions spanning from January 2nd to January 16th, Alex met with their publisher to discuss logistics, attended a student group meeting to get feedback and compare projects, finished the layout of the book including illustrations, and completed the French translations. The book is nearing completion as Alex works to meet publishing deadlines and oversee the publishing process.
Letter to the Judges
Alex Arzenshek created a bilingual children's book in French and English for their senior project. They wanted to display the French language in a simple, creative way for children to understand both languages. Through research, Alex learned that bilingual children have higher success rates academically and professionally. However, translating between the languages and finding a publisher for an inexperienced student proved difficult. While the project introduced Alex to teaching a second language, they decided against that career due to lack of job demand, and will pursue nursing instead. Alex feels the senior project was not personally enhancing and had too many limitations to fully explore careers.

Letter to the Judges
- 1. 1550 Owens Store Road Canton, GA 30115 19 April 2012 Judges, Senior Project Creekview High School 1550 Owens Store Road Canton, GA 30115 Dear Judges: My name is Alex Arzenshek, and I am a senior at Creekview High School. I have been surrounded by the French language since I was a child. Therefore, for my Senior Project, I created a bilingual children’s book in French and English. I wanted to understand what writing a children’s book entails. My desire was to display the language in a simple and creative way, so children could comprehend both languages. The product for my Senior Project is a bilingual children’s book in French and English. I learned through my research that children are familiar with more than one language have a higher chance at success in all areas of life. They are almost guaranteed to earn higher standardized test scores, to excel at reading and grammar, and to get more opportunities in the career field. During the process of creating my product, I encountered two major problems. The first was translating the English to French because the languages are completely different with wording and style. However, through the help of my facilitator, we were able to translate my entire story with the help of dictionaries and native speakers. My second obstacle was finding a publisher to publish an inexperienced high school student’s writing. Fortunately, I discovered a local bookstore to publish it and incur all the costs. I was delighted to finally have my published book that I had worked so diligently on. My topic of bilingualism in children introduced me to outstanding facts and statistics for learning a second language. Hence, I decided to explore a career in teaching a second language to children. I wanted to witness the difference it can make. However, I have learned, thanks to this project, that I do not want to pursue a career in teaching a foreign language due to the lack of demand in the job education market. Instead, I would like to pursue a career in nursing. My thoughts about the Senior Project are very mixed. I do not feel like it has enhanced any skills of mine or made me feel more confident for my future. However, I think that it has helped some of my fellow classmates really concentrate and do something productive during their senior year. This project does have the ability to help students decide on or reject a possible career, but the limitations and requirements reduce the amount of time to really think and explore. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Sincerely, Alex Arzenshek
