Topic: Recognizing the sociopolitical context around bilingual education
Guest Presenter: Susana Ibarra-Johnson
Class Outline:

4:00-4:10
Announcements:

Julia will grade, but not comment on your final drafts (e.g. no editing).

You are welcome to come and pick up your papers – they will be available in Julia’s office through the last week of class, Fall 2008.

Grades will be posted no later than Friday, May 17.

No scheduled break tonight -- if you need to take a quick break, feel free to do so as needed.

4:0-5:00 Small group activity -- Consider the different quotes provided in the PowerPoint. Pick several that seem to especially speak to the group members and discuss them, using the following questions as a suggested guide:

What seems to be important about these quotes?

To what extent do you agree or disagree with these quotes? How so and why?

What do they say to you as a educator or future educator of second language learners?

Note: Whole group discussion, time permitting.

5:00-6:00 Circle of Voices:

We will take one hour to go around the room, sharing whatever you would like about what YOU have learned through your explorations and study this semester. (Note: it’s all about YOU). We’ll start with whoever wants to start first, and then go left or right from there. No comments or discussion, just a chance for each person to share what they’d like.

Please monitor the time, so that everyone gets a chance to share before 6:00.

6:00-6:30 ICES
