We are a classroom full of different life experiences. We have more than six countries represented and many of us are learning English as a second language.
Our school is a Title 1 school, which means that many of our students are living in poverty. On top of that, many of our students are learning English as a second language. Even with these obstacles, our students are anxious to learn and are hard workers! Because of our school's demographics, reading instruction and writing instruction is very difficult. Many of my students have amazing stories to share about their life experiences, but the language barrier makes it hard for them to write about it. Having digital recorders would enable our class to have an oral library. By recording and listening to their stories, students' confidence in their ability to express themselves will grow and they will be empowered to become writers. Having an oral library would teach students that their stories are important! You can help these students who have often felt poor to see the rich opportunity they have to tell stories and become writers. You can help these students who are struggling to understand English practice and perfect their English! My students need 4 digital recorders. HIDELive Updates
