The document discusses the benefits of using storytelling in language education programs. It notes that children who are exposed to storytelling through reading aloud or listening to stories exhibit improved literacy skills like listening skills, vocabulary development, and ability to organize narratives. Interacting with stories is a social experience that helps advance children's oral language development. For language classes with unmotivated or struggling students, well-chosen stories can help change attitudes towards the language by making it enjoyable and comprehensible while introducing vocabulary and language forms in context.
The document outlines guidelines for setting up a high-quality book center in a preschool classroom. It recommends including 5 categories of books (realistic, factual, fantasy, cultural, animals) as well as additional materials like posters, pictures, puppets. Diversity should be represented through books in other languages, about other cultures, disabilities, and families. The book center should be accessible for most of the day and include books related to classroom themes. The teacher's role is to make activities meaningful and help children connect language and symbols.
This document discusses using technology to support storytelling for English language learners in grades K-2. It provides examples of blogging platforms and iPad apps that can motivate students and help them feel connected. Specific technologies mentioned include Glogster, Wikis, Kindersay, and Make Beliefs comic creation tool. The document emphasizes using technology to support cooperative learning groups and expose students to different genres and versions of stories.
The document discusses how traditional tales can be used to motivate students and improve literacy by incorporating digital tools and online resources, noting that these tales introduce students to different cultures while promoting values like honesty and kindness. It provides examples of how traditional tales can be adapted or extended using parallel, deconstructed, or illustrated versions and how this can help develop students' multi-literate skills in understanding various text types and technologies.
The document discusses the pedagogical value of using picture books and young adult literature to develop multilingualism and multiliteracies in children. It outlines goals of exploring the potential of stories to develop linguistic and identity skills. A case study is described that analyzes how multilingual families engage with storytelling and reading in their languages. Theoretical frameworks on lexical priming, dynamic multilingualism, and multiliteracies are discussed. Results showed that multisensory teaching using stories in multiple languages and formats best supports children's language development and literacy.
This review summarizes a book called "Dying Words" by Nicholas Evans about endangered languages. It discusses how Evans combines extensive linguistic knowledge with an engaging writing style to make complex topics accessible. The review highlights how Evans uses examples to show how languages uniquely shape thought and how linguistic restrictions can foster creativity. It concludes that Evans emphasizes the inherent beauty and joy of linguistic diversity in a way that could help convince general readers of the importance of language conservation efforts.

Legends in language teaching and culture learningjonacuso
This document discusses how legends and folktales can be used in language teaching to reinforce cultural learning. It argues that folktales are an important part of cultural socialization and transmission of values. The document proposes that legends can help develop students' language skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing while also helping students understand cultural perspectives. Whether teaching children or adults, folktales provide benefits for language development and cultural understanding. They are a good resource for teaching cultural tolerance in the English classroom.
The document summarizes the benefits of excellent language teaching and learning, which involves teaching grammar and vocabulary in context rather than in isolation, making connections to other disciplines, and incorporating culture into all lessons rather than separating language from its cultural context. It notes that this approach leads to benefits like greater cognitive flexibility, higher-order thinking skills, and higher math and verbal SAT scores with each additional year of language study. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's home language and discusses concepts like balanced bilingualism, third-culture kids, and ways parents can support language learning.

Using Digital Storytelling to Improve Literacy SkillsLiteracyCenter
The document discusses using the online platform Storybird to improve literacy skills through digital storytelling. Storybird allows students to write stories by dragging and dropping pictures onto pages and adding text. Teachers had students in different classes and schools collaborate on stories using Storybird. This encouraged writing, reading, and literacy skills. Storybird also helped reluctant writers and engaged young students. It promoted creativity, imagination, and literacy.
The document provides guidance on setting up and maintaining an effective reading center for preschoolers. It recommends that the center include soft furnishings, enough accessible books for each child, and be organized in an uncluttered space away from traffic. Books should cover a variety of topics featuring people of diverse cultures and abilities. Teachers should read to children throughout the day both formally and informally to develop language and early literacy skills and facilitate learning through questioning, predictions, and connections to children's lives.
The group is basing their film trailer on the TV show Top Boy as inspiration. Top Boy is about an underground drug business in London run by two characters. They chose Top Boy because it relates to their film's drama genre and all group members were familiar with the show. Their film trailer involves similar themes of drugs, crime, and conflicts seen in Top Boy. They plan to implement techniques from Top Boy by watching clips and choosing appropriate elements to use, such as depicting drugs, costumes and props typical of crime genres, and some London slang language. However, they will not use slang for all characters to maintain some normality for the drama aspects of their film trailer.

For decades, GIS has been taught from a bottom-up perspective in which basic concepts, tools, and tasks are first introduced in great detail, then linked together to form higher level parts of the system. These are in turn linked, sometimes across many levels, until the complete top-level geographic information system is revealed. This approach often results in a view of GIS as muddle of tools, functions, properties, and subsystems, seemingly isolated, task-specific, and fragmented. LearnGIS replaces this piecewise approach with a top-down, integrated view of GIS as a platform, based on the science of geography, that provides open geospatial capabilities to any user and allows access by any application on any device.
In our top-down approach, we demonstrate through real-world examples how GIS solves geographic problems and builds geospatial knowledge. The examples, illustrating how GIS is used to conceptualize, organize, analyze, and visualize geographic information, introduce relevant GIS concepts, functions, and uses in yet greater detail. The exercises come to life when readers apply the methods in an interactive, engaging, and fun social learning environment. With the ArcGIS platform, all the maps, data, and tools are online, so anyone can learn by doing at anytime, anywhere, as long as they have Internet access. Through interactive story-telling and hands-on applications, we build a progressive understanding of the entire GIS platform, as a collection of its base elements (online maps, apps, tools, workflows, …), assembled in an integrated fashion, and used to find the solutions and information desired.
Designing more engaging_maps_buckley_11-13-14Aileen Buckley
This presentation offers one overarching goal goal, four ideas, and one challenge relating to designing more engaging maps. It was presented at Esri for World Usability Day, November 13, 2014.
This session will focus on how to effectively communicate the temporal nature of your data through maps designed to be shared in print, on-screen, and online. We also provide some cartographic guidelines for dynamic displays that relate to both the maps and the surrounding map elements, such as graphs, charts, legends, and titles. Through a variety of examples, we demonstrate how ArcGIS can help you to provide greater visual clarity of your temporal data and more aesthetically pleasing visualizations.
Flow maps show the movement of some phenomenon, normally goods or people, from one place to another. Lines used to symbolize the flow are typically varied in width to represent differences in the quantity of the flow. In broad terms there are three main types of linear flow map: radial, network and distributive. Radial flow maps have a spoke-like pattern because the features and places are mapped in nodal form with one place being a common origin or destination. Network flow maps are used to show interconnectivity between places and are usually based on transportation or communication linkages. Distributive flow maps typically show the distribution of commodities or some other flow that diffuses from origins to multiple destinations. An additional type of flow can be mapped using vectors, usually represented by arrows, to show direction and magnitude. These vector-based flow maps show flow for many points within an area. In this presentation, learn how you can make all these types of flow maps using ArcGIS. Using a variety of examples, we explore ArcGIS’s capabilities to map flow in both static and dynamic displays.

Bivariate maps show two themes on the same map. The graphic marks used to represent the themes may be different, as with proportional symbols on a choropleth map, or they may be the same. Bivariate choropleth and bivariate point symbol maps fall into the latter category. Although ArcGIS does not have any out of the box tools to make these same-symbol bivariate maps, in this presentation I introduce a new set of tools that can be used to ease the compilation of these maps. Combined with standard tools, it is now easier and faster to make these bivariate maps in ArcGIS.

This document summarizes a study exploring how Latino/a children engage with literature and media in and out of school. It discusses how the students drew from transnational experiences and cultural practices to fluidly move between people, places, and ideas. The study examined how literacy pedagogies could support children's diverse linguistic backgrounds by valuing their out-of-school cultural knowledge and media engagements. The researcher implemented a curriculum focused on telenovelas to explore the students' interpretive practices in consuming and producing multinational media texts.
Literature circles are small peer-led discussion groups about a piece of literature. They were introduced by Harvey Daniels in 1994 and have since gained prominence among educators. Students read independently and then discuss in a group, allowing them to personalize their learning. Literature circles enhance reading comprehension from kindergarten through college by giving students confidence and engaging them in discussion. The method promotes uninhibited discussion and embraces students' innate curiosity.
This document provides information about a conference presentation analyzing Adrienne Rich's poem "Tear Gas." The presentation explores Rich's techniques for transgressing the fixed meanings of symbolic language to articulate the female voice. It discusses how Rich expresses mistrust in the signifying process of patriarchal language and her use of imagery and poetic devices to create a new signifying system that empowers women. The presentation concludes that Rich succeeds in articulating semiotic drives through her poetry to deny pre-defined notions of female identity.

Remix Culture: Digital Music and Video Remix Opportunities for Creative Produ...Erin Reilly
Reilly, E. (2010) “Remix Culture: Digital Music and Video Remix Opportunities for Creative Production” Editor: Jessica Parker, Teaching Tech-Savvy Kids: Bringing Digital Media into the Classroom, Grades 5-12. Corwin Press.
This document reviews several leading world history textbooks used in middle and high schools. It finds that in an effort to cover a broad scope and promote diversity, the textbooks abandon detailed narratives and complex topics. They emphasize inclusion over important themes in Western history like ancient Greece and Rome. While aiming to include more non-Western content, the textbooks provide unreliable information on topics like Africa and terrorism. Overall, the review concludes the textbooks undermine educational standards and policy goals due to flaws in their production and publishers' unwillingness to improve them.
This document provides an overview of 9 units in new English textbooks for learners. Each unit focuses on a theme and includes different text types like stories, poems, songs and plays.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. Storytelling in the
classroom
In 1984, the Commission on Literature of the National Council of
Teachers of English applauded an emerging trend in schools and
communities which emphasizes storytelling as literature
(Suhor,1984).
4. • George and Schaer (1986) investigated the effects of three mediums
for presenting literature to children and discovered that storytelling
and dramatization were significantly more effective in facilitating
recall of prose content than was television
• Storytelling is viable method for stimulating children’s imaginations
5. • Reinehr (1987) discussed ways to use mythic literature to
teach children about themselves and to help them write
their own stories and legends
• An expressively told story grabs the attention and brings
vivid images to mind
