Breathingearth - CO2, birth & death rates by country, simulated real-time IfItWereMyHome.com HKAexhibition-2010 - home Kids Are Heroes - Lily's Heroes I created a charity called “Kayla Cares 4 Kids.” We collect and donate entertainment and educational items for medical facilities nationwide, to help sick children and their families feel better. My brother and I spend a lot of time in hospitals, and I felt there was a need for more movies and books. When we began in March 2013, my goal was to collect 100 DVDs for Miami Children’s Hospital. We’ve involved neighbors, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, schools, businesses, people across the country and politicians, such as Florida CFO Jeff Atwater, our local mayor and town council. Knowing that I’m making sick kids smile makes me happy, and I’ve received many thank you notes from hospitals and patients.
The Best Places Where Students Can Write For An “Authentic Audience I’ve been spending time over this past year reflecting and evaluating on how I can be more effective in teaching writing — both to English Language Learners and my mainstream ninth-grade students. In fact, all the English teachers at our school have been doing the same thing. Our school got a grant that enabled us to contract with the California Writing Project to do ongoing teacher development. In addition to that work, those of us who teach English Language Development (which is what most others call ESL) classes have been refining our work with the extraordinary The Write Institute curriculum. I’ve also been thinking more about the idea of students writing for an “authentic audience” — in other words, someone other than me. In practice, so far that’s meant my ELL’s writing penpal letters (with pen and on paper) to students (who would respond) in another mainstream English class, and that has worked very well for both classes. Book reviews are great writing opportunities. Related
