Discussing their realities opens the way to transformation because of dialogue and reflection. Students take social action that will lead to positive changes. Dialogue, questioning, interviews, and graphs are examples. Listening, speaking, reading and writing, using all skills in Spanish and English, ensures participation by all. Students can communicate in one language with their parents, analyze and present information gained in another.
Language is used for a purpose while developing vocabulary, grammar, research and technology skills.
All students have equal access and opportunities to actively participate in the project no matter the language, ability, age, or fluency level. The project incorporates many of the Ocean View School District Language Arts Standards which were adopted from the California Language Arts Content Standards. Discern main ideas and concepts presented in texts, identifying and assessing evidence that supports those ideas. Draw inferences, conclusions, or generalizations about text and support them with textual evidence and prior knowledge.
