My ninth grade English Language Development class consists of students from many different cultures and international experiences. A diverse classroom, with a minimum of ten different languages spoken at any time with successful parents who have relocated internationally to compete in the global economy. As part of the South Bay community built around the aerospace industry, South High students work hard to follow in their parents' footsteps to secure college degrees that will help them succeed in today's high tech international marketplace. As an English development class, students must use multiple modalities to practice their English language skills whether it is visually through group PowerPoint presentations or to create press kits that tie into common core themes and essential questions. Students must work together to create both research and analysis projects that require them not only to write and speak persuasively but to market their ideas effectively and professionally.
