Holler If You Hear Me

 * Pre-reading - Think about the labels that were applied to kids in the middle/high school you attended. Did you have a label? If so, how did it affect you?
 * During reading - Read Mitchie, p. 43-59 - As you're reading, pay attention to the names, labels, and identities that come up in the stories. How does what we are called or what we call ourselves influence us?
 * After reading - Using the reading as examples, discuss the power of labels in a school context. (Note: the labels may originate at school or come with us from outside of school.) (Use the discussion board - same groups as last time.)

English Language Learners - An Introduction
//The goal of this module is to give you a taste of the rich diversity of English Language Learners (ELLs) and their families. Each one has a story. Rather than focusing just on facts and figures, I hope you will pay attention to the human face of immigration and schooling.//
