  2. Background • Graduated from University of Michigan with Masters and certification in education. • ESL endorsement also at U of M • Previously taught Spanish in the district • This year, ESL B and C at Berkshire • Also, in the afternoons will be running the new ESL center (“magnet program”) at Pierce Elementary. • Your students may also have tutorial this year with Monica Mirza

  3. ESL B • ESL B is aligned with the BPS language arts curriculum, with modifications to meet the needs of English language learners.  ESL B students work on the same reading and writing strategies, genres, literary analysis, and themes and skills as their native English-speaking classmates.  Direct grammar instruction in English is also provided. • We will start the year by working on QAR (reading comprehension strategy) and focusing on short stories

  4. ESL C • ESL C is aligned with the BPS language arts curriculum, with modifications to meet the needs of English language learners.  ESL C students continue increasing their ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information, increase their independent reading, and become more proficient writers. • We will start the year by reviewing QAR (reading comprehension strategy), and focusing on non-fiction (soon we will begin projects with this genre)

  5. Supplies • Students should bring binder (at least 1.5 inch) • Dividers • Lined paper in binder • Composition notebook (already provided) • Pencils and pens! • Planner

  6. Responsibility • Assessment: homework, projects and reports, papers, journal entries, effort • In order to maximize the time I have with your students, they must be prepared, focused, and on-task in class
