Learn/Improve

Learn?

• Work well with younger kids
• Gained confidence and improved my social skills.
• I also worked well with using my time efficiently

Improve?

• Work harder on my graduation paper to receive a better grade.

Process

• All together my products took 17 hours to complete

• One of the things that I struggled with and had to step out of my comfort zone with was teaching a class and expressing my opinions on the subject to a group of people.

1. Created a lesson plan that I followed and came up with a series of questions for the interviews.

2. Meeting with my mentor for his opinion on my lesson plan. After creating the questions I made sure the students getting interviewed agreed with the questions being asked

3. Teach a class of students at Rose Hill-Magnolia using the lesson plan that I created and recorded the interviews and edited it.

Research

Through researching the advantages and disadvantages of Bilingual Education I realized that, locally, not much is being done to improve the learning process of students in these ESL classes. I decided to create a video in which I interview students and ask for their opinions on the subject.

• Advantages and Disadvantages of Bilingual Education in young kids who speak Spanish at home and English at school.
• One specific study traced the learning progress of more than 2,000 Spanish-speaking students over the course of four years. This experiment showed that students in bilingual classes or programs that featured a gradual transition to English significantly outperformed their counterparts in quick-exit transitional bilingual programs.
